Amrut Spectrum 004

Only 1800 bottles of this unique Indian single malt whisky were produced, as a successor to the Amrut Spectrum, which was awarded the World Whisky of the year in 2016. This 100 proof whisky was matured in a cask made with four different types of staves: new American oak with a No.3 char level, lightly toasted new French oak, and ex-oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry. Whisky Advocate states that the spanish oak stave wasn't used for this batch, but that one had the least impact on the flavor, leaving it with a very similar flavor profile as the original. Very few of us will have the chance to confirm that statement!
