Amrut - Peated Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

Nose : Unusually dry peat; not dissimilar to peat scent absorbed by an old leather armchair; a hint of citrus, too;

Taste : Despite the nose, the immediate sensation is one of being caressed by molassesed sugar and then a ratcheting up of the peat notes. As they get more forceful, so the experience becomes that little bit drier and spicier, though not without the molasses refusing to give way;

Finish : You can tell the quality of the distillate and the barrels it has been matured in by the crystaline depth to the finish. Everything is clear on the palate and the butterscotch vanillas wrap the phenols for a comfortable and clean finale
