AMRUT Single Malt WhiskyAMRUT whisky, single malt is a product of many years research to produce whiskies matching world standards. This whisky is made from selected Indian barley grown at the feet of the Himalayas, nurtured by the waters flowing there and cultivated by old and traditional agricultural practices. It is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches to preserve the natural aroma and matured in oak barrels in a unique tropical condition,at an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level at Bangalore, the garden city of India. To retain the natural characteristics of this oak aged Indian Malt Whisky Tasting NoteNose : Classic house style with glorious bourbon notes fused with the richest of the barley statements; not entirely unlike caramelised biscuit in dunked coffee; oh, and a bit of a spicy attitude, too... Taste : There we go with that unique bitter - sweet overture where the oaks and barley appear joined at the hip ; lovely soft oils and then a sharp jolt of blood orange citrus, which is removed by something more buttery and delicate. Finish : Long, elegant with the most intricate of fades with the oaks showing various bourbon then buttery characteristics; there is a trace of dark sugar and cocoa to help it along its way. Other Info : ”Certainly the best non-peated Indian single malt to hit the international market.61.9%”- Jim Murray Rated 92/100. Award Winning Amrut whiskySilver Award Winner - Malt Maniacs Awards 2008Bronze Award Winner - IWSC 2008 and 2007 Amrut Single Malt WhiskyTasting Note : Nose : Gristy smoked barley, kippers with a salted butter peppered bite. Taste : The delivery is youthful and barley reaching puberty then suddenly an intensely malty ascendancy followed by a healthy dose of drier oaks. Finish : A sublime finale for its sheer delicacy and elegance; the peat no more than oozes, there are cups galore of sugarless medium roast mysore and finally, as a bourbony trail is discovered, soft liquorice and molassed sugar - easily the highlight of the experience; one of the best finishes of year..... Other Info : “It is not chill filtered and comes straight from the barrel in its natural color."
