Tasting Notes

Nose

Peat smoke, tropical fruit, a generous warmth. The combination of Scottish-style peat and Indian tropical maturation creates something genuinely unique. Beneath the smoke, mango, honey and a gentle warmth. Vivid and compelling.

Palate

Smoky and tropical — peat, fruit, a generous warmth. The peated barley produces a recognisably smoky spirit that Bangalore's climate then transforms with tropical maturation. Mid-palate brings dark chocolate, smoked fruit and a generous warmth. At 46%, good body.

Finish

Long, with peated tropical character sustaining uniquely.

Amrut Peated uses Scottish peated barley — imported from Scotland — distilled and matured in Bangalore's warm, consistent climate. The combination of Islay-style peat and Indian tropical maturation produces a peated whisky that exists in a category of its own.

The tropical maturation transforms the peat. Where Scottish-matured peated whisky retains a sharp, maritime edge, Amrut's Bangalore aging softens and enriches the smoke, adding tropical fruit and a warmth that cooler climates cannot provide. The result is peat seen through a tropical lens — recognisably smoky but genuinely different.

Amrut Peated is one of the most distinctive peated whiskeys in the world. The fusion of Scottish peat and Indian maturation creates a flavour profile that no other distillery can replicate. For peat enthusiasts seeking something beyond the familiar Islay spectrum, Amrut Peated is essential — a whisky that proves smoke can speak with a tropical accent.
