This Indian whisky was originally matured in either ex-bourbon casks or virgin oak casks. The whiskies then went through an intermediate maturing process in Sherry butts at Amrut’s Bangalore distillery. Amrut then transferred the whisky back into ex-bourbon casks for another round of aging.

Nose: Red fruit leather, cocoa-nuts, graham crackers, citrus zest, sugared blueberries and spice. And instead of the usual Amrut biscuit aroma, now moist cake. 

Palate: Dried fruit, malt, 70% dark chocolate, candied peel, baking spice, blueberries and a hint of walnuts. Compared to the nose the palate is almost light.

Finish: Long with the dried dark fruit and spice carrying through.
