Amrut is one distillery that i love. Everything they do is amazing and this Kadhambam is no exception. The name of this expression is the Tamil word for "Mixture" and it is matured in blue brandy casks, Oloroso Sherry butts and Rum barrels; a promise for a complex whisky. Bottled at 50%abv, beautiful copper color. On the nose, right from the moment you uncork the bottle, it gives you this feeling that you are in the presence of something truly special. Thick sherry  syrup; Crazy good aroma. Coffee and molasses, pineapple and coconut (the rum barrel hit here). Glazed pork. After a first sip it gave me lemon and caramelized oranges. Heavy lemon zest and condensed milk. On the palate it was amazing. Starts quite sulphuric and almost peaty, with leather notes. Red fruits and cognac. Vanilla cake, prunes and lulo fruit. Aftertaste was magnificent as well. Lots of earthy profiles here: a leather wallet, salt and pepper. Very winey and dry. Ginger. After a third sip it gave me a wonderful peaty/ashy note that took me to heaven. Overall, this is a fantastic whisky. I don't think it is overly expensive, goes for $120 if you have a normal skill in searching for online whiskies, and it is very hard to beat at that price point. Super complex, delicious, with a fairly amount of power; the mixture between the peaty, brandy, rum and sherry flavors is very well delivered. Amazing dram, i don't really feel i can deduct points anywhere here, so, perfect score. 100 over 100. P.S.: don't you really love when you find a whisky that blows your mind?
