Nose: bright fruits (apple, strawberry and pear) along with honey and lemon-lime. Young and punchy.
Taste: Honey-sweet and tart (think green apple tart) with a medium body. As it develops, the lime note returns along with pepper and milk chocolate, and you get some of the bourbon ask notes. such as caramel and cinnamon, but they play a complementary role.
Finish: A tad hot, with tobacco, cinnamon, a bit of oakiness and tangy tartness.
Value: at $50-60 USD, this one is a toss up.
Final thoughts: A young whisky to be sure, Amrut single malt is none-the-less a unique and complex pour which portends good things to come with more age. Give this one a try (or one of the others in their lineup) and enjoy this very singular whisky experience.
Final Score: 3.5/5 (Recommend trying or buying a bottle at a good price)

Great review! I just tried this for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised. Totally agree with you that it’s not very complex but it is warm caramel and spice notes that are tasty. For a young whiskey, it’s pretty good. It definitely makes me want to check out more Amruts.
