A Legacy Crafted by Master Whisky Makers
At the heart of Longitude 77 is a legacy of extraordinary craftsmanship. Brought to life by the master whisky makers behind iconic global names like Chivas, Glenlivet, and Jameson, Longitude 77 draws from over two centuries of whisky-making heritage, infusing generations of expertise, innovation, and artistry into every single bottle.
Acclaim from Global Whisky Authority
Renowned whisky expert Jim Murray shared, “Longitude 77 displays clarity, balance, and complexity with effortless finesse — a true reflection of refined craftsmanship. The liquid is of gold standard; I would have scored it 94 points in my Whisky Bible. It stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the finest Scotch blends and single malts I’ve ever tasted. The maturation in the foothills of Nashik, expertly timed and influenced by natural temperature shifts, has resulted in something remarkable. This whisky is a testament to India’s emergence as a serious player in the global whisky landscape.”
The Master Blender’s Vision
Mahesh Patil, Master Blender of Longitude 77, expressed, “Crafting Longitude 77 has been a journey of passion and precision, drawing upon centuries of distilling expertise while celebrating India’s unique terroir. Each batch represents our commitment to creating a world-class single malt that truly captures the essence of India. The cool, dry climate of Dindori Nashik, combined with our meticulous double maturation process in American Bourbon barrels and wine casks, creates the distinctive smoothness and complexity that defines Longitude 77. I am proud to see this exceptional liquid being appreciated by connoisseurs in Kolkata.”
