Tasting Note
Produced almost exclusively from barley grown in the fertile plains at the foot of the Himalayas, in order to retain its natural characteristics at bottling Amrut is still not chill filtered. This whisky is similar to Speyside whiskies, fruity on the palate with hints of spice and chocolate which are typical to ageing in casks previously used for bourbon. Proud of its success, the distillery now offers small batches with a natural alcohol content of over 60% to focus greater attention on the finesse and unique character of this single malt. A Peated version, made with Scottish malted barley, has been available for some years, paying testament to its unique expertise.
Nose: Classic house style with glorious bourbon notes fused with the richest of barley statements; not entirely unlike caramelised biscuit dunked in coffee; oh, and a bit of spicy attitude, too
Taste: There we go with that unique bitter-sweet overture where the oaks and barley appear joined at the hip; lovely soft oils and then a sharp jolt of blood orange citrus, which is removed by something more buttery and delicate
Finish: Long, elegant with the most intricate of fades with the oaks showing various bourbon then buttery characteristics; there is a trace of dark sugar and cocoa to help it along its way

Amrut
A real revelation, the Amrut single malt is undeniably the flagship of Indian whiskey. A major consumer of whiskey, this subcontinent is also a major producer country. However, only Amrut has the qualities necessary for its marketing in Europe. Founded in 1948 a few months after the independence of India, this company based in Bangalore in the south of the country produces a whiskey in the rules of Scottish art. Its cellars, which mainly contain bourbon barrels, are, thanks to their position (around 1000 meters above sea level) and the surrounding tropical climate, real accelerators of aging, a unique case in the world of single malts.
