Pentagon Special Gold Edition is a well-established name in India’s Prestige–Deluxe whisky segment. Produced by SOM Distilleries & Breweries Ltd. (SOM Group), the brand is known for delivering a smooth, grain-forward profile at a price that stays accessible across both metro and semi-urban markets.
What sets Pentagon apart is its use of Sharbati wheat—often referred to as India’s “golden grain”—combined with a triple-distillation process. This results in a noticeably cleaner, softer mouthfeel compared to molasses-heavy blends in the same category. Imported Scotch malts are used in small proportions to add structure and mild oak complexity.
