The AMRUT 2015 7 Years Old 62.8% Habitation Velier Cask #225 is a noteworthy expression originating from the acclaimed Amrut distillery. Situated in the vibrant city of Bangalore, India, Amrut has rapidly gained a reputation for producing high-quality whiskies that reflect the unique characteristics of the tropical climate in which they are matured.
This specific release, distilled in 2015 and aged for 7 years, is presented at a robust strength of 62.8%, showcasing the potency and depth that aficionados of high-strength whiskies appreciate. The whisky was matured in an ex-bourbon cask (Cask #225), which lends it a distinctive flavor profile, characterized by the interplay of rich vanilla, caramel, and subtle oaky notes that are hallmarks of bourbon-matured spirits.
One of the unique attributes of this whisky is its tropical climate aging. The warm and humid environment of Bangalore accelerates the maturation process, allowing the whisky to develop complex flavors and rich, deep characteristics in a relatively shorter period compared to whiskies aged in cooler climates.
This special bottling has been overseen by Velier, a renowned bottler known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Velier has a storied history of curating exceptional spirits and this collaboration with Amrut is no exception. The limited release consists of only 130 bottles, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With a bottle size of 70 cl, this whisky is crafted using traditional pot still methods, which contribute to its rich and robust character. The combination of artisanal production methods, tropical aging, and the distinguished touch of Velier results in a whisky that stands out not just in terms of strength, but also in complexity and depth.
The AMRUT 2015 7 Years Old 62.8% Habitation Velier Cask #225 is, therefore, a remarkable testament to the innovative spirit of Indian whisky-making and the discerning eye of Velier, making it a standout addition to any serious whisky collection.
