Producer Description
"Amrut had really worked their way around to make this bottling with a near perfect balance of aromas.”, says Ashok Chokalingam, Amrut Distilleries. “We are very delighted with this bottling and the flavours emanating out of this whisky is truly mind boggling. It is a fantastic addition to Amrut stable and yet it is distinctive. We have pretty much produced every style of whisky and pushed the boundaries on maturation techniques that are possible. A few more are now in the pipeline to complete the course” he observes.
4800 bottles have been bottled and are now heading to the North American, European & Asia Pacific markets to be picked up by lucky customers who can lay their hands on them! “The angels of India have done it again”, concludes Ashok, “this land can make whiskies that will amaze and stun you every single time.”
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: honeycomb, sour dough and fresh glazed fruit flan; soft, floral and dusty; cooked raisins and maderized fruit; French soap and Inidian curry spices; loads of firm but gentle oak.
Palate: soft on the approach it quickly builds in to a warm, rich, fruity and spicy whisky; hot but far from sharp; more honeycomb, fruit flan and toasty oak; more cooked raisins, orange marzipan and English marmalade; soft leather and loads of decadent sugars and spice.
Finish: long, warming and rich; it cascades through waves of spice, decadent sugars, fruit and creamy oak.
Comment: this exceeded my expectations; it is complex, elegant and beautiful; a very good malt!
Producer's Tasting Note (Ashok)
Nose: Almond (perhaps Marzipan) wrapped up in Toffee, Coconut shavings and complemented by Vanilla pods and Golden syrup.
Palate: Almond cake, sweet Orange, Toffee with a fruity tease, velvety. You hesitate to swallow the whisky as the middle ground is so palatable.
Finish: Citrus finish with a hint of Toffee and a refreshing end.
92pts Whisky Advocate
"This limited edition is quite a color: deep orange with beautiful rose tints. Quite vinous on the nose, with orange peel, crème brûlée, honey, toasted coconut, grated chocolate, and preserved lemons all benefiting from the higher bottling strength. It’s darkly sweet with piquant plums, juicy raisins, sweet shortbread, fig, chocolate, honeyed lemons, and tangy candied peel. Truly excellent, the spice dominating the dark fruits and chocolate throughout the finish. (4,800 bottles)"

Amrut distillery is located in Bangalore India. They use a mix of Scottish and Indian barley, the later sourced from farmland in the north of India which borders the Hymalayas.The name "Amrut" comes from Indian mythology and means "Nectar of Life" in Sanskrit. Amrut whiskies are bottled young because in the harsh Indian climate they mature quickly loosing between 10 and 15% volume per year.
