Amrut Single Malt Whisky Greedy Angels Chairman’s Reserve 8 Years Old - 50%
Rare and complex, Amrut Greedy Angels Chairman’s Reserve impresses connoisseurs worldwide
The Amrut 8 Years Old Greedy Angels Chairman’s Reserve, introduced in 2013 to celebrate Amrut chairman Neelakanta Jagdale's 60th birthday, is a rare and commemorative release. Named "Greedy Angels" to highlight the evaporation loss during maturation, Amrut's whisky undergoes a significant 15% angels’ share annually due to India’s warm climate. This limited-edition single malt, crafted from unpeated Indian barley and Scottish peated barley, matures in hand-selected casks and is bottled at 50% ABV. With only 1,350 bottles produced, it offers a complex profile of honey, vanilla, citrus, tropical fruits, and delicate peat, embodying Amrut’s craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
how odd: matured inland, yet distinctly coastal in its light saltiness. This sits wonderfully well with the most delicate of blood orange notes... which after a while sweetens towards a Jaffa cake middle. The spices hint and tease while the vanilla fades in and out, taking turns with thin ulmo honey: perfection;
Taste
Soft delivery with the accent at first jointly shared between the barley and vanilla, then the oak takes control moving towards a lightly spiced cocoa. Elsewhere a thin layer of ulmo honey secures the required sweetness;
Finish
Some tangy orange returns, a distant echo of spice hangs off the persistent barley oil;
