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. This one ranks #3 out of 5 for the evening. The nose hits you with cut grass, vanilla, LOTS of peat, and almost makes you think you're smelling Lagavulan. Doesn't taste the same as Lag though, which doesn't mean it was bad. It had a creamy, vanilla taste once you got past the peat, reminiscent of a cross between a Laphroig and a Highland malt. Very intriguing.
