Nose - (w/o water) Sweet tropical fruits, toasted barley, sugar cane, toasted coconut, milk chocolate (w/ water) More sugar cane, toasted coconut, toasted barley, sharp sweetness
Taste - (w/o water) Bit hot, grilled pineapple sweet, tropical honey, floral, toasted barley, cardamom pods?, lightly drying (w/ water) Greatly tamed heat, more grilled pineapple, grilled sugar cane, toasted barley, floral honey, brown sugar
Finish - (w/o water) Lingering chargrilled pineapple sweet, toasted barley, light char-bitterness, sugar cane (w/ water) Lightly drying, grilled pineapple, fried plantain sweet, grilled sugar cane
Score - 87/100
Final Thoughts - This falls right in line with what I've had from Amrut. It has this nice tropical fruity influence while at the same time preserving the toasted/malted barley influence. Not sure if they use rum casks or something, but I get a lot of sugar cane influence in this one along with grilled pineapple throughout. I have a feeling this would be absolutely amazing with a bit of coconut water or something for a nice tropical long drink.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - No

I think this a first of its kind 8 yr old whiskey made in the Indian subcontinent. Whiskies don’t last too long in that Bangalore heat, not beyond a few years at most
