Two casks, one whisky. Amrut Double Cask 2017 is the third instalment in a series where bourbon and port wine casks each contribute their own chapter to the flavour.
Expert's description
Amrut Double Cask 2017 Release 3rd Edition Indian Single Malt Whisky is a Peated Indian Single Malt Whisky matured in bourbon cask #3189 and Port Pipe #2715 for 5 years, bottled at 46%.
The peated Scottish barley was distilled in May and March 2012 and bottled in June 2017 in just 1,050 bottles worldwide. The combination of the two cask types delivers a balance of sweet vanilla and coconut from the American oak and rich fruitiness from the port cask.
