Amrut has a pretty clever approach to finishing its new single malt.
was initially matured in ex-bourbon casks, and then finished in barrels that were custom built from a combination of staves of four different types: new American oak , new French oak , ex-Oloroso sherry butt, and ex-PX sherry butt. The concept here is that the whiskey is able to pick up the flavors and characteristics associated with all of these different types of casks simultaneously, and the staves were used in equal proportions so that one note does not dominate.
Amrut has been around since 1948, but the single malts have really only been available around the world for a decade or so, and comprise a relatively small portion of the company’s products and sales . But the Amrut single malt whiskies have been critical favorites over the years, and a taste of this new whisky proves why. The climate in India is obviously much hotter than in Scotland, which is probably the closest comparison point for this style of whisky.
Ultimately, the custom-built barrels used to finish this single malt could be seen as a selling point or gimmick. To truly see the difference, one would have to try this in comparison with a whisky that has gone through a traditional finish in separate barrels. Regardless, there is nothing that feels inauthentic about the flavor of this whisky. Spectrum 004 is a limited release, with just 6,000 bottles, 1,050 of which are available in the US.
