AMRUT Bourbon Single Cask Trilogy

Nose : fine, distinguished. Peat and smoke are closely intertwined. Their union gives the initial nosing great elegance. It is also remarkably fruity (pear, plum), with elegant vanilla aromas. The peat gradually becomes more delicate. Allowed to breath, the beautiful bitterness of the malted barley comes steadily to the foreground, creating an olfactory release loaded with sweetness

Appearance : jaune doré soutenu.

Palate : lively and invigorating, it begins by eagerly releasing notes of smoke and pepper. The mid-palate subtly deposits salty notes on the tongue. It then develops with notes of freshly cut grass and spices (cumin, ginger). The palate ends with the smoke becoming more intense (Havana, ash) and the appearance of candied citrus fruit (grapefruit, lemon).

Overall : long, powerful. Beginning exactly where the palate left off (smoke, grapefruit), the lightly herbaceous character of the finish brings the freshness required for a long-lasting impression. Smoke then gradually takes centre stage in no uncertain terms. This strong presence is unequivocally backed up in the retro-nasal olfaction. Equally as smoky, the empty glass reveals notes of liquorice, artichoke hearts, and earth.
