I am in EU country and want to carry an unopened bottle of Scotch (1 liter) to India. My flight Emirates will fly via Dubai (transit only). Can I do that legally?

You should call the airline. But I can tell you that Dubai permits alcohol in the country as it is not a “dry” country as some of the other Arab/Muslim countries are.
Yes - you are in transit so you only need to abide by Indian customs regulations. If you are concerned about Dubai - you are not enterng the country you will still be ‘airside’ at the transit terminal.
Yes you may, but remember, if those bottles brake (and I´ve worked at the airport at the arrival service department, so I know this) YOU will be responsible for all damage made on other people´s luggage. It may cost you a whole lot of money. Every week we had to deal with broken bottles on the conveyors, it´s not worth it, so I would defenetily advice you not to, even if you´re allowed.
