Tastes

Happy 40th birthday to me! This 10 year (equivalent to 30 Scottish years per Amrut) sherry matured peated whiskey is everything I love in a dram. Nose: light peat smoke, baking spices, orange peel, and lots of sherry. It needs to sit for a while or the ABV will blow out your sinuses. Palate: lots of oak from the finishing bourbon and virgin oak barrels. Medium to mild peat. Very little burn for 60% ABV. Figs, spice, honey, and vanilla. Just a hint of the Indian spice/cardamom character that I love in Amrut whiskies. Finish: nice and long. Dry, smoky, and spicy, leaving the tongue tingling. Well done Amrut. I can’t wait to get the next Greedy Angels edition when I turn 41!
