Produced from 99% unpeated malted barley and 1% peated malted barley, this Amrut, whose name means “black panther” in Hindi, was finished in a sherry cask. Besides inevitably bringing us wonderful bookish memories from our childhood, its palette of aromas and flavours is abundantly natural and generous. In this way, notes of peat and smoke happily cause mischief throughout a tasting that gladly marries fresh fruits and other drier fruits. Outstanding. The very complex first nose is characterized by notes of nuts (walnut, almond) and caramel. Allowed to breathe, vanilla pod and toffee eloquently accompany aromas of peat and smoke. The remarkably fruity (orange, apricot, peach) attack also adds new nuts (chestnut, sweet, chestnut). With a taffeta-like texture, the mid-palate then reveals rich notes of toffee. Very long and deliciously vanilla, the end of the palate is crisscrossed by increasingly thick wisps of smoke.
