Amrut Fusion Indian Single Malt Whisky

Unique whiskey with great body and finish

Smells quite fruity and almost sticks to the glass like a syrup to coat your mouth. Starts incredibly smooth with floral chocolate notes and doesn't take long for the 50 proof sharp end that lingers in a highland peat smoke that coats your mouth. Bottle suggests water but preferred it neat.

EXPLORATION: The nose was honey and flowery citrus. A bit of a kick on the first few smells. Taste was smooth honey with a subtle smoke—really nice. EXHORTATION: Seek. Trying before buying is best, but I don't believe there's any risk in lunging for a bottle of this nectar.

Nose is malt musty up front with peat behind. As the dram sits the mustiness fades and the peat comes forward. Some occasional cereal notes. The palate is more cereal and peat, with brown sugar and malasses. The finish is exeptional. Smokey brown sugar in oatmeal that lasts for days. Some water makes the nose more malty and sweet and brings some very savory complexity to the palate. My first taste of Indian whisky and I look forward to trying some without the Scotch blended in! Either way, a really great and interesting pick for the price.
