Single Malts of India Neidhal Peated Single Malt, 46%

Price: 105 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Indian Whisky


Amrut is sourcing hidden-gem whiskies to maximize their potential, and Neidhal is packed with aromas of citrus, peach, nectarine, melon, papaya, and vanilla pod cloaked in clean, pungent smoke. The palate is light-textured, with citrus, malt, unsweetened chocolate, dates, prunes, vanilla, and peppery smoke. Stealthily, it slinks through flavors of clove, root ginger, and Brazil nut before a hot, peppery finish with leather, chocolate, and malt loaf. (2,400 bottles for U.S.)
