Amrut Kurinji Single Malts of India Whisky – 70cl
Kurinji is a single malt named after the hills from which it originates, embodying characteristics unique to the region. Ancient Tamil Sangam texts (300 BC – 300 AD) divide the land into five Tinais—each with its own culture, grammar, cuisine, and literary style. Within this tradition, “Kurinji” finds expression in Agam, or love poetry.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Opens with sweet floral wafts of jasmine & honeysuckle. A freshly ironed cotton shirt, in a musty grain barn. Underneath the sweet fruity, floral goodness there's a refreshing presence – some coriander and cucumber-infused mineral spring water, and a hint of white pepper.
PALATE
Sweet caramel toffee onset. Glides through the palate with a syrupy texture, triggering mini-mine explosions of spice along the way – anise, nutmeg, baking spice. Some candied ginger transitions the spices into sweetness while soft comforting vanilla again brings these together, and along with saliva dilution, smoothens the palate into a fruity syrup – slices of peach and pears sprinkled with lime and drizzled with honey.
FINISH
Warm ginger & white pepper with some chewy tobacco and spiced oak. After ingestion, the spirit lingers for a good while, but suddenly – like a spiteful spouse who got everything in the divorce – turns dry and bitter, almost wicking moisture off your palate, leaving you with memories and wanting more.
