Amrut Peated Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky

A peated, cask strength expression from Amrut, made from Scottish peated barley, distilled in Bangalore and matured in oak barrels.

    Nose:    Gristy smoked barley, kippers with a salted butter, peppered bite.

    Taste:    The delivery is youthful and barely reaching puberty then suddenly an intensely malty ascendancy followed by a healthy dose of drier oaks.

    Finish:   The peat no more than oozes, there are cups galaore of sugarless medium roast Mysore and finally, as a bourbony trail is discovered, soft liquorice and molassed sugar.
