One of my corporate vendors gifted a bottle of this before the holidays. He said “ this is an amazing daily drinker”. As thankful as I am at the gesture, the words “daily drinker” made me pause. You shouldn’t be drinking daily…why would any alcohol be a daily drinker? A bag of coffee gifted with “this is an amazing daily drinker”, yeah…i get that. A store bought Peet’s is a daily drinker. Okay, rant over. On to this one here. Amrut and Paul John are some of my favorite whiskeys, and both are from the Indian subcontinent. I didnt even know the existence of any other one from India, till heard raves of the Indri Dru Cask strength. This one here is their base offering—- not meant to be as intense as the Dru —-which i guess wouldn’t still be as intense as a CS version of Amrut, considering Amrut is from a high temperature area while Indri is from Haryana, so more fluctuations. Floral, some oak. Definitely young, but that Haryana heat can be felt in the oak influence. It’s just not as in-your-face as the Goan Amrut or Texan Garrison. Cereal notes, fruity berries. Nothing too polarizing. But nothing too outstanding as well. Almost like a Soeysider, with a bit more oak. Still shouldn’t be a “daily drinker”
