Amrut Fusion X, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2021 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Indian Whisky
A deeply intense whisky, with prunes, molasses, black grape, peppercorn, black mustard seed, and allspice notes, then a waft of burnt heather twigs. The palate is a dense concoction of brown sugar, stewed fruit, pepper, oxidized apple peels, bramble, oak tannins, clove, and hints of savory juices. Water tames the tannins, flushing out a softer, fruiter side, but this sophisticated profile is still quite an acquired taste. (216 bottles for the U.S.)
