Amrut Cask Strength Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a whisky that challenges everything you thought you knew about single malts from non-traditional regions?

**Amrut Cask Strength Single Malt** represents India’s bold entry into the premium whisky world, delivering an uncompromising 61.8% ABV experience that has earned global acclaim. This Bangalore-crafted expression matures three times faster than Scottish whiskies due to India’s intense climate, creating remarkable depth in just 4-6 years. While exploring cask strength options, consider comparing with Aberlour A’bunadh Alba’s sherry influence or Kavalan’s Taiwanese craftsmanship.
