The Amrut spirits brand was founded in 1948, but it wasn't until 2004 that they finally began producing Single Malt Whisky. In India, whisky matures three times faster, but evaporates five times faster than in Scotland. The Cask Strength version has been produced since 2006. The alcohol content varies from batch to batch, so this is a true cask strength.

Let's Taste It : 

Scents of vanilla, caramel and spices, cloves, sandalwood, ginger and nutmeg. Mangrove, rainforest, humidity-soaked earth, but all quite fruity nonetheless. On the palate, a few white fruits, some exotic aromas, papaya and maracuja, but the pepper rises very quickly and starts to hammer. The finish is quite violent, you can feel it coming through. A hint of honey, though, with an ounce of fruit, sugar and caramel. Braised chestnuts, thyme and tarragon.

In Short, 

It's pleasant and quite good, but a little too full-bodied for me. Beyond the violence of the alcohol, it lacks nuance and subtlety.

Score : 85
