AMRUT Bourbon Cask The Chronicles

Nose : rich yet voluptuous. Stunning notes of ripe apricot appear alongside malted barley, vanilla and dried fruits (walnut, date) on the initial nose. Its oriental temperament is then enhanced by an exciting floral register (rose petal, peony, geranium). The more the aromatic palette breathes, the more sophisticated and rich (Turkish delight, rice pudding) it becomes.

Palate : with ethereal elegance, the palate literally propels us into a cornucopia of fruit (blackcurrant, mango, wild peach, red currant, pippin apple, etc.), giving stunning breadth to the aromatic palette. The mid-palate is marvellously honeyed (lime blossom, bay leaf) and nobly spicy (pink peppercorn, ginger, saffron). The tasting lingers on notes of fruit jelly (green tomato, passion fruit).

Overall : long, invigorating. To refresh the taste buds, the finish brings us to breathe in the aromas of a washback at the end of fermentation. Bitter-sweet notes of beer flood the palate. At the same time, the noble wood takes on vanilla, toasted and spicy (star anise, cinnamon) tones. The retronasal olfaction is heady (iris butter) and the empty glass allows us to contemplate a magnificent bouquet of dried flowers.
