Happy 40th birthday to me!
This 10 year (equivalent to 30 Scottish years per Amrut) sherry matured peated whiskey is everything I love in a dram.
Nose: light peat smoke, baking spices, orange peel, and lots of sherry. It needs to sit for a while or the ABV will blow out your sinuses.
Palate: lots of oak from the finishing bourbon and virgin oak barrels. Medium to mild peat. Very little burn for 60% ABV. Figs, spice, honey, and vanilla. Just a hint of the Indian spice/cardamom character that I love in Amrut whiskies.
Finish: nice and long. Dry, smoky, and spicy, leaving the tongue tingling.
Well done Amrut. I can’t wait to get the next Greedy Angels edition when I turn 41!

@PBMichiganWolverine I don’t know about the 12 yr but I have a bottle of the new Greedy Angels 10 yr bourbon cask with my name on it when my local shop gets some.
My favorite Asian whiskey hands down. They have now a 12 Greedy Angels as well
