Amrut French Connections Peated Port Pipe Single Cask Single Malt Indian Whisky 700mL

This limited edition of 516 bottles is part of the French Connections range from La Maison du Whisky. The whisky comes from a Single Cask (# 2713) filled in July 2014. After aging in peated Port pipe, the whisky was bottled in August 2020.

Produced almost exclusively from barley grown in the fertile plains at the foot of the Himalayas, and not chill-filtered, Amrut is similar to the great Scotch whiskeys of Speyside with fruity, chocolate and spicy notes typical of aging in ex- bourbon casks. With undeniable success, the distillery offers small cuvées at natural strength grading more than 60% to further highlight the finesse and unique character of this single malt.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich and concentrated, with elegant peat, red and black fruits.

Palate: Delicate and refined, exotic notes, with a milky, liquorice and oily attack on the palate, intensely smoky and peaty.

Finish: Long and greedy, flavor of vanilla flan, tobacco notes with an animal character, and ripe fruit, citrus and green licorice.
