And this is the end of my Mystery Advent Calendar. It ends with a bit of a hiccup. Day #24 is a re-review. My wife picked from a section of whiskies that were made up of ones I’ve already had, and were the last drops. So I ended up finishing with Amrut Portonova. I’m happy to be the second most prolific reviewer of Amrut alongside /u/devoz, and… Continue reading Amrut Portonova [Re-Review]
Thanks to /u/xile_ for sharing this whisky with us. Indian whisky. A decade ago the look on people’s faces when you mentioned it would be one of confusion, anger, and gas. Never forget gas. Even today, it’s really just whisky nerds really know that there are Indian whiskies worth drinking. Yes, the definition in the country is nonexistant and other than two companies, the others are rum… Continue reading Amrut Peated 2015 Blackadder Raw Cask [MYSTERY]
Thank you to /u/31mak for this sample. Damn your husband, /u/devoz, for laughing about this review throughout. Recently I lose the coveted amazing title of “Canadian who has somehow reviewed the most Indian whiskies” to devoz. And while I had many a sleepless night crying about this, I’m happy for him. However during these reviews he noted that one of my scores was quite different. And since he… Continue reading Mystery sample from /u/31mak
Whisky has had an interesting effect on culture. Let’s take religion, and the use of the term “Angel’s Share”. Before people really understood alcohol and how it evaporated, they made up an idea that the angel’s were stealing some of it. Now either they really believed this or someone who’s a lot more witty than the average person made it up. I tried looking it… Continue reading Amrut 8 Greedy Angels II
Took a break from doing multi reviews of a whole bunch of Port Charlotte. And of course, by “took a break”, I mean I showed up to a tasting, where additional whisky was being served. Amrut Spectrum 004 is the second Spectrum on the market, made by those wacky Indian whisky makers out in… well, India. Kinda wrote myself into a corner there. But why do… Continue reading Amrut Spectrum 004
Amrut Spectrum Review 50% ABV So a little disclaimer going into this review, I am a huge fan of Amrut, and normally go out of my way to try new releases by them. 2016 featured a number of unique and great new releases, and my favourite among them was Amrut Spectrum. A first in the world of whisky, aged initially for three years in … Continue reading Amrut Spectrum Review (50% ABV)
Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. I’ve written about Amrut quite a bit in the last while. So much so, I’m having trouble starting this one off. Everyone loves a Virgin Butt. Wait, that may come off wrong. But think of the SEO I’ll get! Alright, good plan. Like I was saying, everyone loves a virgin butt. Sure they don’t know what they are doing, and… Continue reading Amrut Single Cask Virgin Oak
