Amrut Indian Single Malt Whisky Intermediate Sherry – 57.1%
Tradition and Innovation Combined Brilliance
Crafted with a blend of time-honored tradition and innovative techniques, Amrut Intermediate Sherry Cask Single Malt embodies the essence of excellence. Starting with newly made spirit, it matures initially in virgin or ex-bourbon casks before being transferred into Spanish ex-oloroso sherry butts for an additional year, acquiring a distinctive sherry finish. The final touch comes from further maturation in ex-bourbon casks, resulting in an elegantly nuanced whisky with subtle sherry undertones, characteristic of the renowned Amrut Signature. As a worthy successor to the acclaimed Amrut Fusion and Amrut Double Cask, this expression stands as a testament to Amrut's commitment to quality and innovation, offering enthusiasts a truly exceptional tasting experience.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
Instead of the usual biscuit aroma, we now get moist cake. And my word: is it fruity and spicy!! Love the freshly waxed oak floor, too. Brain-explodingly complex and multi-layered with one of the most intriguing sherry-style-bourbon-style marriages on the market;
Taste
Cracking delivery and entirely unique in form. The structure is decidedly oak-based, but acts as no more than a skeleton from which the juicy sultana and spices drape. Salivating, too, as the barley kicks in powerfully. But the liquorice-orangey-honeycomb bourbon theme quietly shapes the flavour profile; the spices pulse and glow;
Finish
Quite a chunk of natural caramel quietens the more exuberant characteristics; long and elegant.
