AMRUT NAARANGI

INDIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY

A Masterful Alchemy of Generational Expertise and Time-Honored Craftsmanship in Distilling

Naarangi is the Hindi word for 'orange'. Initially, casks were filled with Oloroso Sherry and orange peel was added. This was left for 3 years to season the cask and impart flavours. Following this, 3 year old cask strength Amrut was put into the seasoned sherry/orange casks and then matured for a further 3 years. This produces a unique whisky with a sherry cask finish and orangey notes. LIMITED RELEASES can be available once or on a periodic basis. These releases include Greedy Angels, AATMA, Kadhambam and more.

Tasting Notes

Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.

Nose

Lightly toasted oak. Orange peel (duh). Dry leaves. Rich sherry. Chocolate. Mint leaf. Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Jute bag. Vanilla. This is a super rich nose and the orange is quite prominent, though, thankfully it does not overpower. Amrut noses are seldom flawed and neither is this one. 22/25.

Taste

Good weight. Nice body. Coats the mouth with chocolate. Cinnamon. There’s that orange again. But more of an orange cake this time. Oak. Black pepper. Ginger. This is a nice twist. Makes me want to bust out my Compass Box Orangerie and conduct a head to head. This ticks just the right amount of unusual for me. 22/25.

Finish

Extremely long. Oily. Lip smacking cinnamon. Best of part of the experience. 23/25.
