EconomyIndia warns Diageo over misleading ‘matured in American oak casks’ whisky claim

India’s food safety regulator has warned liquor giant Diageo over the wording used for one of its best-selling whiskies. A confidential government notice says the company misleadingly claimed the whisky was “matured in American oak casks.” Most of the product, the notice indicates, had not actually been matured. The warning challenges the accuracy of the product’s marketing claim.
