About the Whisky:
Mashbill: 75% unpeated Indian barley, 25% peated Scottish barley
Ageing: A blend of two four-year-old whiskies aged in ex-Bourbon American oak casks
Nose: Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too.
Taste: The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! That smoke on the nose turns into warming peat with a subtle sherry note, custard, oaky vanilla and barley with a beguiling fruitiness. The flavors develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolute resonates through the palate.
Finish: Dry peat and oak with a hint of molasses to balance the malt and spice for a satisfying end.

Whisky Advocate
“Balance, complexity, and surprising maturity for its age -- these are the defining characteristics of the best Indian whisky I have ever tasted. Amrut is doing some great things, and this whisky just elevated them to a new level. Combining Indian malt and Scottish peated malt, this whisky shows a sweet side, but is never cloying, with rich caramel, vanilla custard, and fruit cocktail in light syrup, balanced by vibrant -- almost floral -- dried peat smoke, delicate white pepper, and a hint of tropical fruit (toasted coconut, pineapple). Soothing, lingering smoke finish. I look forward to more great whiskies from Amrut.”
