Although US President Barack Obama will be only served food made by his personal chef, the management at Taj Mahal Palace Hotel hope they can at least welcome Obama with an exclusive drink.
To that end, the hotel has prepared a list of high-end liquor that will be served to the President, including the rare Glenfiddich scotch whisky.
Taj Mahal Palace Hotel has arranged for the best available liquor for Obama and the First Lady
A hotel source revealed, "The hotel has arranged for the best available liquor for Obama and wife Michelle.
These drinks are kept only for our special guests. We are hoping that the President will have a drink with us when he is here."
The highlight at the President's bar will be the Glenfiddich 40-Year-Old Rare Collection scotch. The Rs 5 lakh scotch is one of world's finest single malts and the hotel has one of only 600 limited edition bottles available.
"This is one of the finest whiskies and has been specially kept for the President," said the source.
Beside this, other high-end drinks costing lakhs of rupees have also been kept as options.
They include the Louis XIII cognac and Balvenie rare, among others (see box). A fine selection of wine topped off by the Dom Perignon Rose will be served to Michelle on request.
A hotel source revealed that six huge food containers for the President reached Taj a few days ago.
"He will be eating food prepared only by his personal chef. Huge containers have already been placed in deep freezers inside the hotel," said the source.
Meanwhile, the entire fleet of visiting dignitaries will be placed in the old tower wing that re-opened in August, after it was damaged in the 26/11 terror attacks.
"Obama will be lodged at the presidential suite which costs Rs 10 lakh per night, whereas the other suites will be given to the VVIPs accompanying him," said the source.

What better way to drown your post-election sorrows than at taxpayer expense?
I wonder if they would mind keeping the whiner for two years or so?
I can just hear all the Scots weeping over that whisky. What a waste.
drowning your sorrows mr president?
Yes nothing but the best for our worst piece of trash.
10 Lakh a night! That’s 1/10 of a crore!
(or about 20, 000 dollars a night. Expensive room.)
“Glenfiddich 40-Year-Old Rare Collection (from casks filled in 1963): Rs 5 lakh”
Lakh = 100,000 Rupees
Current Exchange rates = 1 USD = 44.3500 Rupees.
Jumpin’ Jiminy! That’s some expensive booze!
Rs 5 lakh = 500,000 rupees = $11,253
Single malt scotch for a Brew-102 character.
The angels are weeping...
$200,000,000.00 (two hundred million) PER DAY is the cost for Obama’s partying in India.
Two years from today, we can remove this Lord of The D-Bags from office.
“To that end, the hotel has prepared a list of high-end liquor that will be served to the President, including the rare Glenfiddich scotch whisky.”
These party ANIMALS will gulp it down like the cheap whiskey they are used to.
Besides, 200 MILLION isn’t enough for them to spend. Why they HATE America and it’s “exceptional wealth”! They need to spread that welath around and India KNOWS it. India wants to get as MUCH MONEY out of the drunken fool as possible. They’d sell their mama’s to him if he’d buy them. The sky is the limit as they parade around as the WEALTHY AMERICANS.
Yes, they HATE America but they LOVE the WEALTH of AMERICA. The problem is, YOU can’t have YOUR WEALTH. That is for the OBAMA’S to SPEND and LOOK IMPORTANT.
God help us. Take the TRASH TRUCK HELPERS OUT.
In 2010 take trashy Obama OUT.
I think one or two bottles of Thunderbird would do.
Cheers to that!!!!!
That’s right. 200 million dollars a day. Unbelievable but true.
200 million is roughly the same per-diem cost as the war in Afghanistan. Obama’s trip will cost the same per day AS A WAR.
If his room is 10 Lakh, and everyone else’s is (say) 1 Lakh then that’s 3010 Lakh per night just for accommodation. Which is a minute 1/30 of the total cost of this binge. The expensive food and 50 year Scotch will add another 1/30 of the cost.
I can’t think where the rest of the money is going. The cost of the depreciation on 40 747s is not that great - 200 million would buy a crisp new 747 each and every day.
“I think one or two bottles of Thunderbird would do.”
Even THAT would be s step UP for the Obama’s.
They truly are embarassing trash.
India will butter him up and appeal to that HUGE EGO and cost U.S. more. Obama will suck it up and FEEL ENTITLED to all the fuss as they laugh their way to the bank and LAUGH at HIM.
According to his doctor, zero has a drinking problem, so, why should anyone be surprised that he’d go without his booze while in India?
$200 million per day!
Obama is the most skilled con-artist ever to sneak into the Presidency.
“According to his doctor, zero has a drinking problem, so, why should anyone be surprised that he’d go without his booze while in India?”
Heck with all this catering to him to SPEND MORE ...he’ll be drunk most of the time.The election results may depress him a little but he’ll just APPOINT more “advosors” or “czars”and continue to do what he wants. Obama has no regard for our LAWS or COUNTRY. Rules are made to be broken as far as he is concerned.
