Vogage of discovery for Amrut Herald

Amrut Distilleries is once again pushing back boundaries in the whisky world. For its latest offering it has
chosen a beautiful, but remote, island as the place to mature four barrels of its Bangalore-distilled single
malt whisky. For a project like this, one might have expected Amrut to pick an island in the whisky
heartlands, but the Indian distillery has once again opted for the unconventional and chosen an island 45
miles off the north German coast.
Helgoland is an unspoiled unique environment with dramatic red sandstone cliffs and sensuous sand
dunes. Not only is it free of traffic and low in pollution, but it also enjoys a gentle climate thanks to the
Gulf Stream which allows exotic plants and wildlife to thrive at its relatively high latitude.
From Bangalore, itself known as India's "garden city"

Amrut Herald (60.8%) Single cask no. 2857 matured for 4 years in India and bizarrely, 18 months on the only island off the coast of Germany

Result is a rich, creamy caramel toffee and totally delightful yellow fruit malt with enough earthy peat to stop it being too sweet...

Absolutely magnificent Whisky. I wouldn't know how to follow it so I'll have a CS Laphroaig to top off a great Whisky night and that's that.
