After the resounding success of Neidhal, our first release of single malts of India, the second release, Kurinji, we are sure, would receive an even more tumultuous reception. Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC – 300 AD), classify mother earth into five regions called tinais, each being associated with its own distinct literary style, grammar, mood, subtle as well as overt form of romance, culture and even cuisine. “Kurinji”, according to this classification comprises all mountains and neighboring regions or in short hilly terrains and the way of living one associates with them. Kurinji, presented by Amrut, is a single malt eponymously sourced from a Kurinji or Mountainous region and exhibits traits that uniquely spring from the locale.
Tasting Notes
Sip smooth whisky, celebrate moments, elevate every occasion's spirit.
Nose
Floral and flowery notes with pear and melon, muscavado sugar, vanilla with an oak tone and a bit of toffee too.
Taste
Fruity with a tease of citrus notes or is it salted caramel? confusing!. The mid plate is with the arrival of honey and vanilla duo complemented by a creamy toffee and floral notes. There is a slight oak tone with a note of ginger candy too!. The finale is remarkable with a sweet and floral finish and a dusting of cracked pepper.
