Thanks to /u/xile_ for pouring me a sample of this one. Hey, it’s time to review an Indian whisky. Which since I’m drinking it and reviewing it, which means it’s from… Paul John? Alright, so right now there’s two brands of Indian whisky that pop up. I typically drink the other one, Amrut, because I really like them and because so does /u/devoz and he’s a wonderful person who… Continue reading Paul John 6 Cadenhead Small Batch
Thanks to /u/devoz for pouring me a sample of this. It’s weird being a reviewer. You end up going with what you can get, as I’m not charismatic enough to sell out my morals and make this something where I can get free things from what I like. Enter?Amrut Single Cask ex-Jaggery Rum Cask, a single cask that only came into Kensington Wine Market. I’ve reviewed a… Continue reading Amrut Single Cask ex-Jaggery Rum Cask
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
Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. Indian heat and whisky methods, European Rye, Amrut yeast, and a friendly competition between two obsessive Canucks. That’s what’s lead us here. An assortment of international reasons that have lead me here. Amrut Rye seems insane. A company that makes Single Malts in a very distinctive Scottish way. The last thing I expected from them was a dram that was… Continue reading Amrut Rye
Thanks again to /u/devoz for the sample. So I’m at a whisky tasting and I get offered another Amrut. And because I need to keep drinking Amruts or my ancestors will rise up and destroy Sri Lanka. Which is amazing because I’m white as shit and my ancestors never went there, but thems the breaks. Sorry Island country. Not that I wouldn’t drink this otherwise. It’s… Continue reading Amrut Double Cask
I was dropping off a few mystery drams for devoz to add to a shipment for j4ni back in December so my wife and I came by to hang out for a drink or two. He had recently acquired a couple new Amruts and was gracious enough to share them with me, so I took a couple of notes. sparse notes because we were socializing … Continue reading Amrut Triple Review: Rye, Double Cask and Virgin Oak Single Cask
