Amrut Port Pipe Peated LMDW Cellar Book 70 cl. / 62.8 % Indian Single Malt Whisky Distillery BottlingAmrut Port Pipe Peated LMDW Cellar Book from 2017 - only 420 bottles A little background:Amrut whisky was "invented" by Rakshit Jagdale, 25 - who stumbled upon the idea while studying single malt in the home of whisky - Scotland. Amrut produced by Amrut Distillers - which has been making brandy, rum, vodka and gin for 55 years. The market share in India for Amrut is already at 5% - with the vast Indian army as one of the major consumers. The production capacity is 2.5 million cases annually.Amrut Single Malt Whisky is made from selected Indian malted barley produced in Punjab and Rajasthan in the north western corner of India. In Punjab, the water comes from the Himalayan mountains via the Sutlej River and supplies the country with irrigation water for the Bhakra Nangal Dam. Bhakra Nangal Dam. The cold winters and hot summers create a unique barley quality - rich in flavor. Malting takes place at malting plants in Jaipur and Delhi under the strict instructions of Amrut Distillers Ltd. The malted barley is transported south to Bangalore where it is carefully malted and distilled in small batches. These small batches are important to retain the natural aromas from the barley, water, yeast and distillation.Amrut matures in imported oak casks for more than 3 years under unique tropical conditions in warehouses near Bangalore. Longer aging will completely destroy Amrut - and is equivalent to a Scottish single malt in 10-12 years. According to Jim Murray, there are elements of Amrut flavor that are only found in a Speyside single malt after 35-36 years! The warehouses are about 1,000 meters above sea level, but the temperatures are still extreme. The proportion of angel's share - the whisky that evaporates from the barrels annually - is easily 3-4 times as high as in Scotland and twice as high as in Kentucky, where bourbon is native. To maintain the natural character of Amrut - the whisky is not cold filtered. This allows Amrut the whisky to develop a "haze" in the bottle at low temperatures. This is normal for whiskies that are not cold filtered. It's all the good stuff in the bottle that shows through.
