Amrut Portonova Single Malt Whisky 700mL
When whisky guru Jim Murray described this single malt as completely 'unique' in his 2015 Whisky Bible, you know it's a drop that you just have to try. A port version of the Indian manufacturer's Intermediate Sherry, the flavour profile, including notes of prune, pipe tobacco, dried fruits and dates, is unlike any other whisky on the market. The spirit was matured using unused casks and bourbon casks before spending a few months in port pipes. From there, it's returned to the bourbon casks to finish the maturation process. This offering from Amrut will challenge and delight your taste buds in equal measure.
Nose: A Thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie.
Taste: This is essentially a port pipe sandwich.... and it shows. The spicy, jammy fruit is interwoven through any amount of caramel while the oaky saltiness gets the taste buds both salivating and puckering until you run dry.
Finish: Long, massive oak with quite evident traces of the virgin barrels now detectable. And more of a cocoa hue as it progresses. At last some muscovado sugars arrive to supplement the berry fruits.
Serve neat, over ice or with a splash.
