- Pack massive rugged ice 'rustle' to the glass rim.
- Without a measure cup, pour 'Large Peg (~60ml)' of 'McDowell's No.1' heavily by eye. Caramel-like sweet junk aroma blending India-unique molasses (sugarcane derived) spirits spreads.

Trivia
[Hardcore] Super-giant brand contesting 'world's most consumed whisky' seat. Unlike Scotch whisky's strict definitions (using only barley malt etc.), Indian whiskies often blend sugarcane molasses spirits (called Indian Made Foreign Liquor/IMFL), yielding unique sweetness/drinkability. Ordering a 'Peg (liquor unit)' at Indian Dhabas bringing this out is daily scenery.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Drinking] Dilute solely with 'water' instead of soda into 'Whisky Pani', drinking sip by sip at room temp chatting endlessly with buddies!
