Amrut Peated Single Malt 50mL
As India is far too tropical for peat to develop, Amrut reached out to a Scottish malt company in Aberdeen to produce a peated barley to their exact specifications. And teamed with barley grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, it makes for a spectacular end product. Aged in oak barrels for around five years, this smoky whisky embodies the best characteristics of the surroundings in which it was made.
Nose: Unusually dry peat; not dissimilar to peat reek absorbed by an old leather armchair; a hint of citrus, too.
Taste: Despite the nose, the immediate sensation is one of being caressed by molassed sugar and then a ratching up of the peat notes. As they get more forceful, so the experience becomes that little bit drier and spicier, though not without the molasses refusing to give way.
Finish: You can tell the quality of the distillate and the barrels it has been matured in by the crystalline depth to the finish. Everything is clear on the palate and the butterscotch vanillas wrap the phenols for a comfortable and clean finale.
Serve neat, over ice or with a splash.
