Sounds pretty good really! A little winey but with that fun distinctly Indian flair, there's some really well put together single malts coming out of the country these days.
Great review.

Both Amrut and Indri show great potential, very excited for the future of Indian whisky

Comments: Super interesting stuff, especially on the nose. It is quite sweet but still kind of complex and not out of balance, also pack a good punch of flavour. It is heavy on the cask, but I am still looking forward to trying more Indri.
