Amrut Portonova
Strong reviews from most major critics. Better packaging than any of the previous Amruts. Plus, I like it even more than the Fusion (which we all know it pretty darn good)! There's not much of it to be had, but it's here while it lasts.
Amrut Portonova Indian Single Malt Whisky $115.99 - The newest release from Indian single malt producer Amrut was aged in Bourbon cask, then port pipes, and then back to Bourbon cask again for a triple maturation. At cask strength, the result is a powerful and rich malt that should impress whisky lovers even more so than the Amrut Fusion. Dark chocolate notes mix with red fruits and loads of spice on the finish. A slight herbacious note lingers in the distance as well. Very impressive.
