A Tale of Two Continents.
Amrut Two Continents Indian Single Malt Whisky starts its maturation in ex-Bourbon casks in Bangalore, situated at over 3,000 feet above sea level in the heart of South India. These casks then set out a long journey, being shipped 9,000km to a secret location in Scotland—allowing a further maturation in the cooler Scottish climate.
Non chill-filtered, 100% Indian malted barley, ex-Bourbon casks maturation.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Raisins, spices and banana.
Taste: A stunning marriage of malt, dark fruits and delicate spices carried by a light oiliness. Muscovado sugar and milk chocolate lighten the oak note.
Finish: Long, with a delightfully slow build of oak notes. Spices progress to a vanilla finish.
