Nose : Heavy, thicky oaked and complex: some curious barley sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too..
Taste : The delivery through controlled at first, is massive! Then more like confusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full brown 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 okay vanilla hammers home that barley - fruitness to make for a bit of a free for all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate;
Finish : A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fae, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit;

Amrut Distilleries, the Liquor segment of the Bangalore-based N.R. Jagdale Group, produces a range of whiskies, brandies, rum as well as premium liquors in India.
Way back in 1948, Amrut Distilleries grew out of its local base in Karnataka to an acknowledged all-India presence. The launch of its Single Malt Indian Whisky, christened Amrut Single Malt - ASM for short- in Glasgow marks another milestone in Amrut Distilleries quest for recognition for quality.
Amrut whisky is made from selected Indian barley grown at the feet of the Himalayas, nurtured by the waters flowing there and cultivated by old and traditional agricultural practices. It is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches to preserve the natural aroma, unchill-flitered and matured in oak barrels in a unique tropical condition, at an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level at Bangalore, the garden city of India.
Amrut was named a Distiller of the Year in the Icons of Whisky 2011.
