I tried Bailly bottled water of Parle Agro recently .I paid about Rs 11 for a 1000 ml bottle(to the best of my memory).
What I really liked about it was its taste it has a distinct slightly sweetish and fresh taste unlike products like Kinleys or Bisleri which taste completely bland.At room temperatures and at moderate cooling,the taste was perceptibly superior.At VERY cold temperature while the taste was still more pleasant than other brands,the chill tended to dominate the taste.
Packaging needs inprovement.Altho the dealer told me(he is a very trusted dealer,have been buying from him many years)that Bailly is usually not attacked by spurious manufacturers,still I feel the pilfer-proofness can be improved on the lines of what people like Bisleri are attempting.ALSO,THE BOTTLE SEEMED VERY FLIMSY..THE WALLS SEEM THINNER THAN MOST AND THE SIDES TEND TO CRUMPLE,THEREFORE HOLDING A FULL BOTTLE IS AWKWARD.
