I had the good fortune to attend an Amrut tasting event tonight with one of the brand ambassadors at the Seven Grand whiskey bar in downtown Austin. I got to try five different expressions from Amrut over the course of the evening, plus some delightful punch made with their peated single malt.
I got lots of notes of raisins, figs, and some baking spices from the barrel. The taste was almost sweet, and didn't bely the cask strength of this expression. The finish wasn't as long as I'd expect for a CS whisky.
This one was unique to me. I've had plenty of sherry finishes, but not a lot of madeira finishes. I'd rank this #4 out of 5 pours for the evening, mostly because I'm not the biggest fan of wine finishes, but also because even if I had enjoyed this one more, it's very rare and most likely prohibitively expensive.
