Amrut Single Malt Whisky Double Cask - 46%
Amrut Double Cask: A Fusion of Bourbon, Port, and Peat Mastery
This double cask release marries single malt aged in former Bourbon barrels with that from a port pipe, alongside whisky crafted with Scottish peated malt barley. Bottled in June 2017 after maturing since May 2012, it boasts over five years of aging. The outcome is a beautifully balanced whisky, featuring delightful smokiness, luscious fruity flavors, and rich, quintessentially Amrut vanilla notes. Superb exotic fruit nuances round off this exceptional dram. Bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration or artificial coloration, it allows the whisky's natural aromas and flavors to shine through. Another stellar addition to the Amrut lineup, this expression symbolizes global collaboration, combining Scottish grain with Indian distilling expertise, resulting in a whisky that embodies the best of both worlds.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
A rich, honeyed profile with loads of vanilla pods and creamy cake. Also quite floral, mainly buttercups. There’s plenty of fruits: pineapple candy, pink grapefruit, banana, caramelized apples… Apple pie. Hints of sweet oak and barley sugar. Just excellent – it’s like a Speyside grandpa with the vivacity of a youngster.
Taste
More of the same (yay). A liquid fruit salad with papaya, kiwi, mango and pineapple, lifted by notes of lime. So much fruit, so much body, so much roundness. Again a coating of vanilla and powdered sugar. Subtle spices.
Finish
Long and fruity. Delicate oak with cinnamon and very light pepper.
