The name McDowell came from Scottish distiller Angus McDowell, who established McDowell and Company in India in 1898, an overseas branch of McDowell of Scotland. In 1951, McDowell and Company was acquired by the UB Group of Vittal Mallva.
McDowell’s No.1 Reserve Whisky was launched in 1968 and is a blend of imported scotch and Indian malt whiskies. It is sold in several countries outside India, including Africa, Canada, the Far East, Japan, the Middle East, and the United Arab Emirates.
McDowell’s No.1 Diet Mate, which the company claims is the world’s first diet whisky, is a variant of McDowell’s No.1 Whisky. It was launched in 2006. It is sold in pint, nip, quart, and 750 ml bottles, at a cost 5% higher than McDowell’s No.1 Whisky. The product was initially launched in Mumbai and Thane but later expanded to other markets. Debashish Shyam, then General Manager (Marketing) of UB Group Spirits Division, stated that “Diet Mate is not a low-calorie whisky but has ingredients that increase metabolism.”
