In the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi—where tree-lined boulevards intersect with
colonial-era architecture and quiet sophistication defines the atmosphere—The Claridges New
Delhi observed National Scotch Day with a celebration that blended heritage, craftsmanship,
and quiet luxury. The occasion was marked by the exclusive unveiling of The Tasting Room, a
dedicated space within the hotel designed for the appreciation of fine spirits, and an evening of
curated indulgence featuring an immersive Scotch whisky tasting.
National Scotch Day, observed annually, is a tribute to the legacy of one of the world’s most
revered spirits. More than just a celebratory date on the calendar, it serves as a reminder of the
time-honoured traditions, intricate distillation processes, and storied provenance that define
Scotch whisky.
Each glass carries with it not only the craftsmanship of its makers but also the
character of its origin—shaped by landscape, climate, and centuries of cultural practice.
The day invites whisky aficionados around the world to reflect on this heritage, to taste with intention, and to honour the enduring appeal of a spirit that transcends borders and generations.
