Amrut Portonova

Description

AMRUT Portonova Travel Retail. Very interesting little whisky from Amrut , this is unpeated and aged in American oak bourbon barrels before a finish in port pipes, especially imported from Portugal.

Awards:

Malt Maniacs Awards 2011, Best Cask Innovation

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie.

Palate: The spicy, jammy fruit is interwoven through any amount of caramel while the oaky saltiness gets the taste buds both salivating and puckering until you run dry.

Finish: Long, massive oak with quite evident traces of the virgin barrels now detectable.
