Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt Cask Strength

If there is one time you need to add water or ice, this is IT! Without dilution, it's just pure fire. With water or ice, it's calmer. Nose is definately peat, lemons and smoke. But the taste isn't as complex as some of its Scottish Islay counterparts. I think Bangalore, India just doesn't have the climate to support the complexity that's needed for peat. I've had Amruts before, and loved them...This one had the peat smoke but not the layers of complexity. It's a good whiskey, just not worth seeking it out or paying more than a much better Laphroaig 10 or Ardbeg 10

Holy smokes! This smells of sweet smoked paprika BBQ rub and charcoal. The taste is the same overwhelming sweet smoke, and then slight stinging from the high alc. - added water to chill it out. Dark notes of cherry and licorice enter the scene, but the smoke is still really intense. Verdict: Good and fun exotic world whisky, especially for BBQ lovers.
