About Amrut Peated Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky
Amrut Peated Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky is a bold, high-proof expression from Amrut Distilleries in India, crafted with 100% peated Scottish barley and bottled at a potent 63% ABV (126 proof) without chill-filtration or added color. What makes it special is its intense peat smoke balanced by tropical sweetness from India's hot climate maturation, delivering a flavor bomb far more powerful than the standard 46% peated version—think restrained peat upfront exploding into rich, spicy complexity on the palate. Ideal for peat enthusiasts and cask strength aficionados seeking an affordable non-Islay alternative under $90 for 750ml, it outperforms many peers in intensity while offering unique Indian character like citrus and honeyed fruit against smoky depth. In its category, it stands out as a value-driven powerhouse, rivaling pricier Islays with sweeter, less briny peat.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
A restrained yet blooming aroma of dark honey, tinned pears, orange marmalade, and subtle charcoal peat smoke emerges after time in the glass, with hints of sour pickle juice and tropical fruit punch via the Ashok Manoeuvre. Wood ash, cured meat, and light dusky peat mingle with candied cinnamon apples and chewy oatmeal cookie notes. Faint smoky ham and dry wood smoke add savory intrigue without overwhelming coastal brininess.
👅 Palate
A generous heat bursts with savory barbecued burnt ends, campfire smoke, candied lemon peel, clove, and licorice, balanced by sweet cereals, honey candies, and creamy toffee. Syrupy mouthfeel carries explosive spice—peppercorn to chili—alongside smoky bacon, coffee beans, and lemon sherbet sweetness, light-bodied yet richly layered. Water reveals more veiled complexity without thinning the powerful flavor bomb.
✨ Finish
A generous, creamy linger of toffee, vanilla bean, flamed citrus peel, oak tannins, and dry ashy peat smoke trails long and luxurious. Striking richness persists with mild sourness and white pepper spice.
