An authentic single malt produced at the original Indian malt distillery in Bangalore. This is their peated variant and has received much attention and positive reviews since it launched. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%.
Nose:
A dry peat reek, old worn leather and hints of citrus and banana.
Palate:
Demerara sugar and then a ratching up of the peat notes. Becomes that little bit drier and spicier with time.
Finish:
A wonderful depth with a clarity of flavour including butterscotch and vanilla intertwined with the smoky phenols.
