Amrut Fusion

Fusion is one of Amrut’s most popular single malts. The mash is a mixture of 25% peated Scottish malt and 75% unpeated Indian malt which are both distilled and aged independently. To finish, the casks are married together and re-casked in ex-fill bourbon barrels at the Amrut distillery in Bangalore for an additional three months. The result is a lightly-peated malt whisky with the tropical fruit characteristics common to Indian whisky.

Nose : Heavy, heavily oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too.

Palate : The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! A vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all. Intense chocolate fudge absolutely resonates through the palate.

Finish: Enough molasses sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end with predominant spiciness.
