Amrut "Portonova" Single Malt, 700ml
Amrut is a family-owned Indian distillery that produces high-quality single malts.
Founded in 1948, it uses naturally filtered water from the Arkavathy River and sources barley from India and Scotland to experiment with peated and unpeated malts.
They utilize two different-sized pot stills and traditional methods to achieve complex layers of flavor.
Amrut employs a variety of cask types for maturation, including ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, ex-rum, and first-fill French oak, resulting in a broad range of expressions.
Amrut Portonova undergoes a unique three-part maturation process. Firstly, it is matured in a combination of new American oak and ex-bourbon casks. Next, it is transferred to first-fill Portuguese Port pipes. Finally, it is returned to ex-bourbon casks for finishing touches.
Nose : A Thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie.
Palate: A combination of spicy, jammy fruit and caramel, with a salty and oaky finish that leaves your taste buds craving for more.
