Nose | Closed at first, but the whisky slowly opens up in the glass |
Palate | Intensely flavoured and complex, with layers of fruit, spice and smoke. Thick vanilla sweetness is tempered by smoky peat, and chocolate fudge is complemented by grapes and spicy oak. |
Finish | Long and lingering, with rich dried fruit and gentle, savoury smoke. |
To create Fusion, both unpeated Indian barley and peated Scottish barley are distilled and matured separately in American oak barrels for more than four years. Amrut Fusion is then blended and ‘married’ in American oak barrels for an additional three months. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 50% ABV, it is lightly peated with a complex flavour profile. This whisky was named Third Finest Whisky in the World by acclaimed whisky writer Jim Murray in 2010.
