I loved the standard single malt so was eager to try this. Thanks to Soonershrinks sample here we go. Nose is a wooden crate of apples, sweet potato, some cardboard and spicy oak. Peat or peat smoke is very reserved. If you rest it you can pull some earth and wispy smoke. Palate is smashed apples and malt with a thick resinous smoke surrounding not on top of. The Indian spice from the original is there but in the background. Finish is long and smooth with the fruity malt and smoked barrel transitioning to a nutty spice note. This is good stuff but I like the purity of the Indian flavors in the standard SM a bit more. The Scottish peated variety mutes that a little. Not enough to drop score too much as this stands tall and Im ready to explore the entire Amrut line.....86/100
