Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This is the first Amrut single cask bottled exclusively for the U.S. market, and is even more unusual because it’s a peated single malt matured in a Port wine pipe. The cask was filled in May of 2013 and bottled in October of 2017, but tastes like a far older whisky.
The nose has notes of campfire smoke, plums, berry cobbler, and molasses. The taste is intense and mouth-coating with a subtle smokiness balanced by clove, chili powder, molasses, berry cobbler, and plums. The finish is long, but subtle and mouthwatering with a kiss of smoke, molasses, and gentle spices. Excellent! (March, 2018)
