Amrut 10 Year Old Greedy Angels Peated Rum Finish 2019 Indian Single Malt Whisky ABV 57.1% 70cl With Gift Box

Founded in 1948, a few months after India’s independence, this family company based in Bangalore, in the south of the country, produces a whiskey in the rules of Scottish art while claiming its Indian origins. Indeed, it uses almost exclusively barley growing in the fertile plains located at the foot of the Himalayas. Established at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level and subject to a tropical climate, its cellars, where mainly bourbon barrels rest, are real accelerators of aging.

Nose: The first nose is marked by an intense woodiness with notes of toast, perfectly integrating the smoky notes of peat with dark tones. Sweet spices and marmalade are gradually revealed, as well as gourmet notes of Morello cherry, cocoa and vanilla.

Mouth: Very round on the attack, no doubt the influence of rum and its aromas of butterscotch and candied citrus fruits, the mouth continues on an impressive density, a concentrate of cocoa and macerated fruits, enhanced by a subtle floral note and camphor freshness.

Finish: The smoke now tends towards ashy notes, while retaining a certain sweetness that continues through the delicacy of pastry notes, spices and a hint of vanilla.
