Nose - spicy, fruity, oranges and tangerines, deep oak, burned oak, some red fruits, and even a touch of orchard fruits. Sweet, oakey, balanced, but not all that exciting or enticing.
Taste - I get a sweet fruity up front blast, then it turns jammy and marmaladey, then transitions to spices and oak and heat. The finish is long and lingering with intense oaks. I'm struggling to really put notes to this one. It's off. The sweetness is a bit artificial, it doesn't have amruts normal intensity of finishing. It however just kills it on the finish. There's wood smoke for sure.
Overall a solid 2.75 for me. I just love how Amrut finishes and that saves a nice sweet but uneventful whisky and almost swings it into pretty special.

Wow!....2.75 sounds like a trailer trash score . I'll open my bottle tonight and see how it goes. I'm not expecting to much on a newly opened bottle but will resample every month to see if it opens better as most whiskies do. Was this score based on a newly opened bottle?
