Tasting Notes
Nose : A rich, honeyed profile with loads of vanilla pods and creamy cake. Also quite floral, mainly buttercups. There’s plenty of fruits: pineapple candy, pink grapefruit, banana, caramelized apples… Apple pie. Hints of sweet oak and barley sugar. Just excellent – it’s like a Speyside grandpa with the vivacity of a youngster.
Taste : More of the same (yay). A liquid fruit salad with papaya, kiwi, mango and pineapple, lifted by notes of lime. So much fruit, so much body, so much roundness. Again a coating of vanilla and powdered sugar. Subtle spices.
Finish : Long and fruity. Delicate oak with cinnamon and very light pepper.
About Amrut
Amrut Distilleries is a Bangalore-based company founded in 1948 that produces a wide range of liquors, including the award-winning Amrut Indian Single Malt Whiskey, which was the first Indian single malt to be exported internationally. The name 'Amrut' comes from the Sanskrit word for "nectar of the gods," and the company uses Indian barley grown near the Himalayas for its whiskies. Due to Bangalore's high altitude and warm climate, the aging process is accelerated, with whiskies maturing faster than those in Scotland, though this also results in a higher "angel's share" (evaporation).
