Amrut Intermediate Sherry Cask

Country: India

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57%

Score: 94 Points

This Amrut started off in ex-bourbon casks, then spent some time in ex-sherry casks before being re-racked into the bourbon casks. Despite the high strength, there’s no burn on the complex nose, with dried fruits, red apples, figs, red grapes, black licorice, and a touch of maple syrup. The taste is sweet, spicy and thick with curry powder, cinnamon, honey, and brown sugar notes. The finish is spicy and long with notes of honey and licorice.
