How does this happen? Someone here explain to me how Distiller gave this whisky an 84 score! It's mindbending I tell you! From start to finish you're treated to a wonderful amalgam of aromatic wonder, and at 50% ABV it all hits you with so much confidence and presence. The craftsmanship behind Fusion is simply brilliant. The nose is fruity and tropical, with hints of mangoes as a waft of tropical notes evaporates from the glass. The palate is all-encompassing to your mouth as a touch of peat, smoke, and iodine fuse with brown sugar and barley. The finish is rich with the addition of wood notes (I know it's oak but it really just comes across as general yet delicious lumber), lingering for minutes on end. Brilliantly done, Amrut!
