In 2009, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2010 named Amrut Fusion the third-best whisky in the world, with a score of 97 points, putting a single malt from Bangalore above almost every Scotch in the book. In March 2026, Paul John’s Michael D’Souza was named World’s Best Master Distiller/Master Blender at the World Whiskies Awards. In 2023, Indri’s Diwali Collector’s Edition won Best in Show at the Whiskies of the World Awards.
Seven years is young for a single malt, especially when so many of the Scotches people treasure carry 12, 18, or 25 years on the label. Indian whisky is often described as maturing “faster,” which isn’t quite accurate, but it’s a handy way into the real explanation. Most of it comes down to the Indian climate, and what heat, humidity, and big swings in temperature do to maturing whisky.

Scientists studying the tropical forests of Malaysian Borneo have discovered an unexpected shift in one of the region's long-running ecological partnerships. An international team from Queen Mary University of London, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Biology Center of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and other institutions found that predatory wasps are increasingly occupying the hollow stems of the tropical plant Macaranga pearsonii. The findings, published in PeerJ, reveal that the wasps are moving into structures that evolved specifically to shelter protective ant colonies.
