The Amrut Cask Strength Barrel is a distinguished single malt whisky with an impressive alcohol content of 61.8%. This 700ml bottle of Indian whisky offers a rich, oily texture and a powerful array of fruity flavors. The aroma is complex, featuring juicy fruits, dry cereals, spices, and notes of candied lemons, roasted nuts, and peanuts. On the palate, this whisky reveals a multifaceted profile with cooked fruits, coconut milk, candied oranges, and chocolate-flavored cereals. The tasting experience is further enhanced by the whisky's beautiful power and the harmonious combination of cream, graphite, warm spices, and roasted dried fruits. Adding a splash of water elevates the fruitiness and praline notes on the nose, providing a fresher and creamier impression.

It is considered very drinkable even at around 50-55% ABV.
