Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
Distinctly confidant liquorice-bourbon notes with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound;
Taste
Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big bourbony cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molassed sugar normally associated; but the barley adds that extra dimension;
Finish
Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death;
High Quality Craftmanship
Amrut Distilleries has garnered international acclaim, receiving prestigious awards for its exceptional single malt whiskies. Renowned for innovation, quality, and a distinctive Indian character, Amrut has secured recognition at major spirits competitions, solidifying its status as a trailblazer in the world of whisky, earning admiration from connoisseurs globally.
