Flavour & character

Aroma A direct assault on the senses with intense peat smoke, combined with the scent of leather, dry spices, and a surprising undertone of dried fruit and syrup.

Taste Rich and full-bodied. You taste an explosion of soot, oak, and pepper, which slowly gives way to the sweetness of malt, vanilla, and subtle notes of tropical fruit like banana and pineapple.

Finish Phenomenally long and warming. The smoky peat remains dominant, beautifully complemented by hints of cocoa and a touch of citrus oil.

Serving tips & combinations

The ultimate tasting moment

• With water: Serve neat at room temperature, or add a few drops of water to open up the aromas and soften the texture.

• Time in the glass: Give this whisky at least 10 to 15 minutes in a Glencairn glass before taking your first sip; the air works wonders for the complexity.

Food pairings

• Cheese: A bold yet fantastic combination with our Henri Willig Aged Goat Cheese. The nutty and salty notes of the cheese beautifully cut through the heavy smoke of the Amrut.

• Chocolate: The ultimate partner for the Marcos Tonda dark chocolate 80%. The bitter cocoa and the smoky peat enhance each other's earthy character.

The perfect gift

• For the collector or lover of Islay-style whiskies who wants to try something different, this Amrut is an impressive gift. The tin tube and rugged label emphasise the premium status of this Indian powerhouse.
