This is only the 4th batch of CS OB Vintage Amruts. And it is approximately 3yo. Since its another continent I do not know wether the 3 y.o rule for what can be called whisky applies. But then again, things mature more quickly in warmer climates (or something like that). The color is golden brown/deep golden. It smells young, raw, spirity, ginger, wasabi, black pepper, sour dough, yeast, spirity. Now remember, this is both young and at a very high strength. Lets try it straight just for fun. The taste is syrupy, sugary, vanilla, fried bananas, immensely sweet. Some spirity notes and even some small hints of peat in the background, but most of all its a sweet soup. Lets add some water. Now it turns drier, wheat biscuits, ginger and rubber. Water will be out of the question next time I try this batch.
Decent stuff, influenced by heavily toasted bourbon wood, is my guess: 4.5
Next tasting: Kavalan Distillery
