Amrut Kurinji Single Malts of India Whisky – 70cl
Kurinji is a single malt eponymously sourced from the hills and exhibits traits that uniquely spring from the locale. Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC – 300 AD), classify mother earth into five regions called Tinais, each associated with its distinct literary style, grammar, culture, and even cuisine. Sangam literature has documented the “Kurinji” in its Agam or love poetry.

Description
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.
ABV 46%
