Amrut Single Malt Whisky Greedy Angels Chairman’s Reserve 12 Years Old - 60 %
Amrut Greedy Angels 12-Year-Old: India's Pioneering Single Malt Achievement
"Amrut Greedy Angels 12-year-old represents a significant leap in Amrut Distilleries' pioneering journey through the single malt whisky landscape. Notably, it stands as the oldest whisky ever bottled by Amrut and potentially the first single malt aged for a full twelve years in India. The aging process under Bangalore's relentless sun and low humidity poses unique challenges, with the risk of over-wooding over extended periods. This exclusive offering includes a bottle paired with two branded Glencairn Crystal Tasting Glasses, bottled at a robust 60% ABV to unlock its intricate depth and complexity. It epitomizes Amrut's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, inviting whisky aficionados to savor a truly exceptional and groundbreaking expression from the heart of India's whisky-making tradition.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
It is very rich, but at the same time it appears light on its feet. Intense and delicate. Oily. Sugary, candied fruits, like a cocktail of tropical fruits. The standout fruit is oranges, but there's so much more going on as well. It keeps developing over time.
Taste
Intense, oily – almost buttery mouthfeel. Oranges and all sorts of tropical, candied and dried fruits. It also has a soft nuttiness to it — almonds spring to mind. Soft caramel notes and some vanilla.
Finish
Very long finish. Steady as she goes, really. The profile remains unchanged, and it stays for SO long! Caramel, oranges (more towards bitter oranges now, perhaps?), and almonds.
Comments
I should not be surprised, really. But - wow! This is the nectar of the gods indeed!
