Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky

Description AMRUT Fusion Single Malt Whisky, 50%.   Product Type:  Spirit / Whisky Country:  India Region:  Banglore Appellation:   Producer:  Amrut Whisky Distillers Vintage:  NV Alcohol:  50% Closure:  Cork Tasting Note : 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! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) – the custard presumably is oaky vanilla – hammers home that barley – fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate Finish : A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit Awards :- Grand Master of The World Whisky 2011 – The Spirit Business Award in London.
