  1. Coldorak scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    Very good Amrut once again, feeling a bit like a Fusion cranked to eleven. Still quite lightly peated in the end result feels very bourbon-y as well. This is very good but I expected maybe a tiny bit more complexity. But that’s cutting hair in half to be honest (which is a difficult exercise for me, as you probably know, it!) Solid whisky buuuut… too expensive this time for what it brings.
    • Nose
      Neat: Some earthy peat but it’s not dominant. The wood provides cinnamon and some polish notes, and there’s a fatty waxy feeling. Another sniff and we get like an old bourbon touch, with concentrated vanilla and caramel (but, by chance, no coconut). There’s also a lightly sweet note like not yet cooked cookies with milk chocolate chunks.

      With water: more honey and caramel, and some freshly sawn raw wood.
    • Taste
      Neat: The arrival is slightly thinner than I expected. It starts on old bourbon notes again, then a kick of spices arrives, probably the ABV and the cask saying hello. Butterscotch and wood spices are another hint towards bourbon casks, with wood char on top of that. Cinnamon and leather and hints of mint.

      With water: Some lightly sour fruity notes, like grapefruit juice. And lots of caramel.
    • Finish
      Very light peat with butterscotch again and a pinch of cinnamon dust
