Amrut Fusion Malt Whisky –50%
Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whiskey has recently been rated the 3 rd Finest Whisky in the World by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too. The taste though controlled at first, is massive! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is oaky vanilla - hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for- all; the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its finish.

Amrut Indian Single Malt Whiskey
Distinctly confidant liquorice-bourbon notes on the nose with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound.
On the palate outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big bourbon cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molasses sugar normally associated, but the barley adds that extra dimension.
The finish is long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death.

Amrut Peated Single Malt – 46%
From the land of the Great Himalayas, using 100% Scottish Peat
Tasting Note :
Nose : Unusually dry peat; not dissimilar to peat reek absorbed by an old leather armchair; a hint of citrus, too
Taste : Despite the nose, the immediate sensation is one of being caressed by molassed sugar and then a ratching up of the peat notes. As they get more forceful, so the experience becomes that little bit drier and spicier, though not without the molasses refusing to give way
Finish : You can tell the quality of the distillate and the barrels it has been matured in by the crystalline depth to the finish. Everything is clear on the palate and the butterscotch vanillas wrap the phenols for a comfortable and clean finale.
