Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt 46%
Tasting Note
Btl: 2015
Tasted: Sept 2015
The nose opens with kerosene and very herbal and oily peat. Sharp citrus notes collide with the dense oak and barley. With time some sweeter peat, honey and heather emerges along with a late cold tea note. It’s sort of like Highland Park on steroids.
The palate show a little more delicacy with the herbal honey and heather notes up first. The peat seems quite hidden but it begins to creep through. Hints of parma violets, barley and malt follow, leading to a mouth-watering but not astringent finish which also shows a light, salty minerality and lingering sweet barley, a smidgen of oak and dusty peat.
