Pakistan Brewery Looks for Whisky Brand Name

A distillery in Pakistan is canvassing suggestions for a name for the Islamic country’s first 18-year-old single malt whisky. Staff at the Murree brewery and distillery in Rawalpindi insist the spirit will be “very smooth and very palatable”. “We already produce malts that are three, eight and 12 years old, and are confident that this will be something quite extraordinary,” said Murree’s quality manager, Fakher Mahmood. “As for a name, we have circulated a number of proposals and had several suggestions, but nothing has been decided.”
