Amrut Intermediate Sherry - Indian Single Malt

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 57.1% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Intermediate Sherry undergoes three stages of cask maturation: first in ex-bourbon casks, then an intermediate period in a sherry cask, and finally another period in ex-bourbon casks. The sherry maturation therefore sits between the two bourbon-cask phases rather than serving as the final stage.

Bottled at 57.1%, this whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured. Fruity notes and vanilla sit alongside spices and a dry, oak-led finish.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose offers pronounced port-like fruit, candied cherries and vanilla, with a hint of strawberry jam.
• Palate: On the palate, cinnamon and nutmeg form a warm, spicy foundation. Nuances of orange peel and subtle anise notes accompany them.
• Finish: The finish is long and dry, with pronounced oak notes. The sherry influence becomes more apparent in the lingering flavours, while the finish remains smooth and balanced.

Distillery/Bottler:

Amrut Distilleries Private Limited produces and matures this single malt in Bangalore and releases it as an official bottling under its own Amrut brand. Maturation in a tropical climate is one of the distinctive features of the Indian distillery.

Amrut was founded in Bangalore in 1948 by Shri J.N. Radhakrishna, initially under the name Amrut Laboratories. In 1986, the company established a site in Kumbalgodu. Amrut first introduced its Indian single malt to an international audience in Glasgow in 2004.
