Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky is a bold and intricate expression from one of India’s most acclaimed distilleries. A blend of Indian and Scottish barley, its nose is dense and complex, offering barley sugar, gentle peat smoke, and thick oak notes. The palate explodes with rich peat, fruity malt, and a curious touch of sherry trifle and oaky vanilla custard, despite no sherry cask influence—melding into a deep chocolate fudge core. The finish is slightly drying, with peat, oak, molasses, and a final spice crescendo that carries the whisky to a powerful, satisfying close. A wild yet masterful ride.

Distillery

Nose : Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too.
Taste : The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is oaky vanilla - hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate.
Finish : A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit.
