Amrut Peated Port Pipe LMDW

The peaty versions of the single malt produced by the Amrut distillery are very well suited to ageing in port casks. Several of them bottled for La Maison du Whisky are there to testify to this. The third part of our 2021 Creation Catalogue dedicated to the Bangalore distillery, this version does not mince its words to impose its style, which is both uncompromising and wonderfully nuanced at the same time. It finds its unity of tone thanks to a subtle play of incessant back and forth between peaty, fruity, animal, exotic, medicinal, spicy and ashy sequences.

Profile: rich, the first nose oscillates between elegant peat and red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry). When aired, peat and smoke take the upper hand. Then notes of camphor, turmeric and limes accompany the thick smoke. Pure, the attack in the mouth is particularly exotic (pineapple) and intensely smoky and peaty. Mineral, the aftertaste is reminiscent of a chimney fire. Gourmet, the finish is reminiscent of a vanilla custard. Little by little, the animal character of the taste palette becomes more and more marked. In retro- olfaction, barley grains roll over the palate.
