Home of Solan No. 1, one of India's oldest malt whisky brands, produced at the Kasauli distillery originally established by Edward Dyer -- widely credited as the father of Indian brewing and distilling. Among the oldest operating distilleries in Asia, set in the Himalayan hill station of Kasauli at approximately 1,800m elevation.
