What are the key tasting notes of Amrut Peated Cask Strength?

• Nose: Smoky barley upfront, followed by the savoury richness of smoked fish kissed with salted butter and a sharp hint of cracked pepper.

• Taste: The initial taste is youthful, almost like it’s still in its early stages, but then it quickly transforms into a rich, malty surge, followed by a strong presence of dry oak notes.

• Finish: A sublime finish marked by pure delicacy and elegance, the peat gently seeps through which is not overwhelming. There’s an abundance of sugarless medium-roast Mysore coffee and as a bourbon like trail emerges, it reveals soft liquorice and a touch of molassed sweetness.
