Amrut Fusion Single Malt 70cl. Case
Amrut Fusion gets its name from the fact that it uses two barleys: Indian and Scottish. The Amrut distillery was founded in 1948 and began producing whiskey in the 1980s. The maturation process is considerably accelerated thanks to India's unique climate, with icy winters and extremely hot summers. More than a third of the total liters evaporate, a significant amount compared to the average loss in Scotland of 3%. In blind tastings, whiskey experts have compared the quality of this single malt with that of Speyside whiskey. Amrut CEO Neelakanta Rao Jagdale has set out to enter the UK market by, among other marketing initiatives, distributing its whiskeys to more than 460 Indian restaurants in Glasgow to promote the fusion whisky. The barley is specially grown on the slopes of the Himalayas and the whiskey is matured at an altitude of 900 meters in warehouses in Bangalore. Prizes and scores:

Description
PREPARATION
Amrut Fusion owes its name to the fact that it uses grains from very different places: barley from India and peat-malted barley from Scotland. The waters of the Himalayas, coming from melting snow, flow through the Sutlej River and irrigate the entire region with pure, crystalline water. After being aged separately in bourbon casks, the whiskey undergoes a "marriage" process, in which the two varieties are blended to create an excellent whiskey that combines native and Scottish elements. This whiskey is not chill filtered or treated at low temperatures before bottling.
