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
Appearance: 1.8, Old Oak Nose: Caramel, chocolate, grainy, malty, menthol, rich oak, leather, ginger, pepper steak, almost some red stone fruits here too. Normally with Amrut single casks, you get mostly the core Amrut profile with an accent of the cask type, not so here. The Amrut profile is there, but it is dominated by a rich spice and sweetness. This is not an out … Continue reading Review: Amrut Virgin Oak (Kensington Wine Market Exclusive)
Thanks to /u/xile_ for sharing a dram of this one with us. Had a whisky tasting. And for this one, we went all out. Up first… You know what? I’m going to assume you want to know more about the whisky than anything else. And for this one, I’m going to be succinct. We drank a lot of whiskies. And I felt okay enough to review… Continue reading Amrut 10 Greedy Angels
Thanks to /u/Jolarbear, /u/LetThereBeR0ck, /u/devoz, /u/WDMC-905, and /u/Schockwaves for the samples. Regulations are a funny thing. Looking at the history of the Scotch industry, one finds that the regulations have been a double edged sword. Originally people had a still, and took whatever leftover barely, wheat, etc. and put it in the still, and drank what came out. Simple alcohol, no cuts, and was something… Continue reading Amrut-pocalayplse [12 Part Review]
India. The name itself evokes a rich, proud, diverse and fascinating history. Or tasty spicy food, vast class discrepancies, a growing income gap, and a cold war process with a border more complicated then trying to play connect the dots on a fry chef’s face. India is fascinating. And has a bit of English history. So it’s not surprising at all that they have a… Continue reading Paul John Indian Whisky (Edited, Brilliance, Classic Select Cask, Peated Select Cask, Single Cask P1-163, 6 2008 Single Cask)
