A rare bottling of one of the early batches of Amrut Cask Strength. December 2006 special release. Big & bold flavours of spice & vanilla; the output of this Bangalore distillery never cease to amaze. Amrut India Amrut Distillery is situated in Bangalore in the state of Karnataka on the Mysore Plateau in central, southern India where production of malt whisky commenced using four stills during the early 1980s. Unpeated malted barley is sourced from the Punjab & Rajasthan regions in northern India whilst peated malted barley is shipped in from Scotl&. Amrut Indian single malt whisky is matured in oak casks in Bangalore at an altitude of over 900m above sea level where maturation is subject to a tropical climate with dry seasons & rainy seasons. Due to the high rate of evaporation of at least 12% per year it is difficult to store & age casks of Amrut malt whisky locally, therefore, in order to produce older whiskies some casks of Amrut whisky are also matured in Scotl&. The Amrut Distillery produces a range of Indian malts whiskies including peated & unpeated, some matured in bourbon & sherry casks including Amrut Intermediate Sherry, & some containing malt whisky which has matured in two continents. No tasting notes at present.
