A full strength Indian peated malt whisky from a brand with an ever growing reputation. Compares well with our very own smoky Islay malts.

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. On the nose girsty smoked barley, kippers with a salted butter peppered bite. The delivery is youthful & barley reaching puberty then suddenly an intensely malty ascendancy followed by a healthy dose of drier oaks. A sublime finale for its sheer delicacy & elegance; the peat no more than oozes, there are cups galore of sugarless medium roast mysore. ...

Tasting notes provied by Lawrence Graham, Whisky Intelligence.com & Malt Maniac Bananas, cough syrup on the nose along with a good earthiness with the addition of some buttery richness, buttered raisin buns & grapefruit rinds. Over ripe fruit & aged musical instruments also pop into the picture. Malt & bees wax. Time for some water; things have settled down with a little more on the sweet side revealing itself, all very good. The undiluted taste is much gentler but still gives them a run for their money. Some good solid vibrancy here & then some malt & fruit but still very peppery. With water it slows down & the sweetness is revealed, syrupy & very good. There’s also now some hints of heather or roses; just a tinge of some floral notes adds to the whole picture. The addition of water is very welcome; don’t be afraid to add a good splash. The finish is very BIG & very long, again lots of fruit, pepper, oak spice, MALT (almost like a sweet meal biscuit) & some good hard candies. Another excellent example from Amrut. Score: 88 points. ...
