This 10 years old ex-bourbon Amrut Greedy Angels is created using 100% unpeated 6-row Indian Barley and matured in bourbon casks. It’s among the oldest Indian whiskies ever released, and was bottled in memory of Amrut’s chairman, Neel R. Jagdale, who passed away in 2019.
This is a limited edition with only 900 bottles released worldwide.
Nose – A distinct light saltiness presence. This sits wonderfully well with the most delicate of blood orange notes, which after a while sweetens towards a Jaffa cake middle. The spices hint and tease while the vanilla fades in and out, taking turns with thin ulmo honey perfection.
Palate – Soft delivery with the accent at first jointly shared between the barley and vanilla, then the oak takes control moving towards a lightly spiced cocoa. Elsewhere a thin layer of ulmo honey secures the required sweetness.
Finish – Some tangy orange returns, a distant echo of spice hangs off the persistent barley oil.
