Amrut Single Grain Single Cask #1458
Amrut Single Grain Single Cask #1458, 7 YO, 57.1 %
Distilled May 2012, matured in ex-bourbon casks, and bottled December 2019. This release was limited to 1458 bottles.
Not sure if this is still available anywhere. I have previously reviewed the sister cask (cask #1457) and loved that one as well (see review).
Nose: Milk chocolate and honey. Vanilla and caramel sauce. Ripe apples and barbecued pineapple.
Taste: Full bodied and super smooth. White pepper and milk chocolate up front. Then a fruity wave of apple, pineapple and smoked strawberries. Toasted oak and hints of ginger.
Finish: Medium to long finish. More of the same, although it takes a turn towards the dark side - slowly but surely.
Comment: A true delight!
