Exploring the Enigmatic World of amrut Portonova Whisky
AMRUT Portonova, an unpeated single malt whisky, undergoes a unique maturation process. It begins in new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels, then transitions to once-used port pipes from Portugal before returning to ex-bourbon casks. Named after Parangipettai (Portonovo), a Tamil Nadu town once under Portuguese control, this whisky exudes exotic aromas and flavors. Notes of raisins, vanilla, cherry liqueur, and spices create a vibrant, complex profile. Despite its full cask strength, the finish remains exceptionally smooth, showcasing its masterful craftsmanship. AMRUT Portonova blends tradition and innovation, offering a captivating whisky experience rich in depth and character.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
A Thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie;
Taste
This is essentially a port pipe sandwich.... and it shows. The spicy, jammy fruit is interwoven through any amount of caramel while the oaky saltiness gets the taste buds both salivating and puckering until you run dry;
Finish
Long, massive oak with quite evident traces of the virgin barrels now detectable. And more of a cocoa hue as it progresses. At last some muscovado sugars arrive to supplant the berry fruits;
