Amrut Peated Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky (India) – 57.1% ABV

A powerful, peat‑forward Indian single malt distilled from Scottish peated barley (~23 ppm) and matured 4–6 years in ex‑bourbon and charred oak under Bengaluru’s accelerated aging climate.

Nose - Aromatic peat leads, more sweet than smoky, followed by layers of salted chocolate, brown sugar, apricot, date, orange, and fresh pastry. A touch of vanilla blooms when inhaled deeply.

Palate - Full‑bodied, oily, and intense. The opening shows vanilla, cooked plantains, date, and a surge of peat smoke. Mid‑palate brings smoked brisket, toffee, orange peel, and lemon peel, with underlying spice and pepper.

Finish - Exceptionally long and spicy, with dry oak, smoke, clove, and lingering salted caramel and cooked plantains. The peat remains assertive, leaving a warm, smoky afterglow.

Master of Malt highlights bonfire smoke, barley, and over‑ripe fruit.
