AMRUT DOUBLE CASK SINGLE MALT 46% ABV LIMITED RELEASE

A Unique Marriage of Two Single Casks – Bourbon and PX Sherry

Color: Medium amber, orange blossom honey.

Nose: I can feel the PX cask dominating on the nose... Bitter chocolate, cherry coke and dried cranberries. Zante currants, damson plums and ripe Black Mission figs. Dusty and slightly ashy... A little of aged Slivovitz. Noses like a younger spirit than it is actually. Adding water lifted ex-bourbon aromas up a notch. Vanilla, burnt sugar and grilled pineapple rings. and maple syrup.

Palate: Very dry... Ex-bourbon barrel takes the lead on the palate. Toasted new oak, allspice and ground cloves. A lot of young toasted wood and Middle Eastern spices. Cumin, cinnamon and cardamom. Some black garden soil, prunes and Christmas spice mix. Adding water works great: Nutmeg, cinnamon and freshly ground black pepper.

Finish: Medium long with cinnamon and cloves mainly. Some white pepper and eucalyptus drops.

Overall: Limited Amrut expressions are nothing but surprises... Right now when I was getting ready to taste a sherry dominated profile after what I got from the nose initially it hit me with a dry and spicy new craft bourbon palate instead. I know the label says "barrel" for the size of the ex-bourbon cask used for the vat but it taste so much like a small cask matured American bourbon. If you are a fan of craft bourbons with a lot of wood influence and spices you will absolutely fall in love with this
