Amrut "Fusion" 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.
Fusion single malt is matured in a variety of casks, including ex-bourbon, and ex-rum casks.
Aromas : Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too;
Palate : Controlled at first and then massive. Smoke turns into peat, but doesn't overpower. There's a sherry trifle note, even though no sherry butts are involved. The flavors create a free-for-all, with a really intense chocolate fudge middle.
