Nose - (w/o water) Hot, sharp tropical fruity heat, cayenne spiced grilled pineapple, sweet habanero heat, faint sweet baking spices, cloves. (w/ water) Greatly reduced heat, more strawberry/cherry preserves, less tropical.\ Taste - (w/o water) Hot sweet heat, white pepper burn/tingle, sweet dried red berries, intense tropical sweet, grilled pineapple (w/ water) Softens the heat, adds a creamy yet drying mouthfeel, more rounded/balanced berry/tropical fruit vibe. Finish - (w/o water) Long lingering red berry sweet, hint of maple syrup, heat fades fairly quickly, grilled fruits (w/ water) Long lasting pear/red berry mixture, very faint bitter like that of pineapple char. Score - 90/100 Final Thoughts - As I expected, this one comes out of the gate a bit hot. A tiny bit of air time in the glass makes it more tolerable and this odd sweet spice note I get slowly fades a bit with some time. Sherry influence is there w/ bright red berry influence and is mixed with what I get as their standard very tropical hot malt. Oddly enough the hot heat fades fairly quickly. Like other Amruts that I've tried, this greatly benefits from a tiny bit of water as it softens up the hot heat a bit and rounds out everything nicely. It is quite easy to add too much and make it muted pretty quickly though, so use a dropper if you can.
