AmrutPort Pipe Peated Single Cask #2714, 59

This single malt whisky hails from India, crafted by the renowned Amrut distillery. It is a peated expression, meaning it incorporates malted barley that has been dried over peat fires, imparting a smoky character to the spirit. The whisky is matured in a port pipe cask, which is a large barrel traditionally used for aging port wine, adding layers of complexity and richness to the final product.

Bottled at a robust 59% ABV, this whisky is a cask strength offering, meaning it is bottled directly from the cask without dilution. This results in a more intense and concentrated flavor profile, appealing to those who appreciate bold and powerful whiskies. The single cask nature of this release ensures that each bottle is unique, with subtle variations in flavor and aroma.

The combination of peat smoke and port cask maturation creates a distinctive and memorable whisky. The smoky notes are balanced by the sweetness and fruitiness imparted by the port cask, resulting in a harmonious and well-rounded spirit. This whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complex flavors.
