Amrut Fusion Aged In Oak Barrels Single Malt Whisky 750ml

INFO

An incredible combination of 75% Cask Strength Single Malt and 25% Cask Strength Peated Single Malt, are further aged to create this multi-award winning whisky. NOSE: Rich, barley, fruity, big on citrus, spices, creamy sweetness, a hint of peat PALATE: Oaky, rich, gentle peat, coffee, dark chocolate. fruity FINISH: Long, spiced, marmalade, sweetness.

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.

The history of Amrut Distilleries is as old as the history of independent India itself. Indeed, just as India is now noted as one of the worlds leading economies, so too is Amrut Distilleries an industry leader. In 1948, as India was taking its place as an independent nation, Amrut Distilleries entered the field of liquor making, with an initial investment of a few lakhs. Todays success has been made possible by the resolve of successive generations of the Jagdale family to embrace value and quality.
