Amrut is a solid bet when buying a new bottle. Everything they do is great, specially considering their first whisky was released in 2004. Having said that, this is not the best Amrut i have ever had, and it is not that peaty. Still a good whisky; with some interesting notes. Bottled at 46% abv (not to be confused with the Peated Cask Strength Amrut). Amber color. On the nose, it is so amazing, that score a perfect score, saving the overall rate of this dram. Starts with "naranjilla" a fruit that is amazing and only exists in countries like Ecuador where i live. You might find it called as "Lulo". Very tropical. Glazed Pork, some medicinal notes too. An IPA beer aroma, tangerine, and coffee. Citric. After having a first sip, the aroma develops an Olive oil note, spices and cherry tomatoes. On the palate is a little dissapointing. Vanilla, ashes, a little earthy, lemon and pineapple. Still a tropical yet peaty profile. Aftertaste has an explosive peat punch, but gets dim too quickly. Chilli and salt. Overall this is a good whisky but not a great one. Every single Amrut i have had before is better than this one. The score is 85 over 100 and it is because the aroma is amazing.
