Amrut Fusion

Balance complexity and surprising maturity for its age -- these are the defining characteristics of the best Indian whisky I have ever tasted. Amrut is doing some great things and this whisky just elevated them to a new level. Combining Indian malt and Scottish peated malt this whisky shows a sweet side but is never cloying with rich caramel vanilla custard and fruit cocktail in light syrup balanced by vibrant -- almost floral -- dried peat smoke delicate white pepper and a hint of tropical fruit (toasted coconut pineapple). Soothing lingering smoke finish. I look forward to more great whiskies from Amrut.
