Amrut Intermediate Sherry

higher abv, first sip very hot. a bit of ice was nice, not as sweet as I thought it would be as a sherried whiskey

I had this 2 weeks ago at WhiskeyLive in NJ. I’d say out of the 50 or so whiskies there, this one and the Balcones rye were the highlights. Whereas the Balcones was simply very unique, this one was just purely well made innovation. It was triple matured—bourbon, sherry, back to bourbon. All in the Indian heat and high humidity, which really ages the whiskey quicker than the Scottish brethren. It’s a nutty sweet flavor, with a strong hint of vanilla. Quite potent too..but that’s Amrut’s calling card. Walking out of the event, this was the best one. If you see it, worthwhile purchase. I don’t believe it’s that expensive...maybe $100

Sweet (non sickly),caramel, cherry, smooth, strong, interestening, huge aftertaste

Like the bill on the label you get a nice Sherry note that charges at you. Don't dodge it.
