Rampur Double Cask tasting notes: Nose - Fruity: Notes of tropical fruits including papaya, mango, guava, and pineapple. - Other Notes: Pears, mild acetone, with a bit of alcohol bite. - With Water: Water removes the alcohol bite and opens up more mixed fruit scents. Palate - Fruity: Continues with warmth, apples, and dried mango. Guava was starting to be more prominent with few drops of water. - Other Flavors: Salted caramel, raisins, and toffee. Decent mouth feel that is coating but not oily. Finish - Smoothness: Quite smooth with no alcohol burn. - Lingering Notes: Citrus and fruits, hint of cocoa, slight touch of salt, and dried sweet mango staying for a while. - Length: Medium finish but a good one. These notes were based on a neck pour (first pour), I left the whisky to breath for 15-20 mins and added 2ml of water. Overall it was a good start, this one has a good balance between bourbon and sherry taste. A very good NAS whisky with no youth or harshness even for the neck pour. Im sure the whisky is going to get better as i go down the bottle.
