Costlier vintage

Everyone knows that the ITDC-run duty-free shops at Delhi airport aren’t among the best with their limited stocks. But now that the ITDC outlet has been closed, rival shops have jacked up prices, or are stocking more of the high-value brands. So, more often than not, the regular 12-year-old single malt is not available and travellers have to settle for the costlier 15 to 18-year-old malts.
