TASTING NOTES - AMARUT KADHAMBAM

Nose

despite the two extra maturations, the first one to reach the nose is the sherry component, really very intense, sometimes even overflowing in terms of tannins, with an almost sulfurous component. A riot of sweet raisins, strawberries in spirit, black cherries, dates. Only later more complex, tropical fruity notes as well as a spicier, more sophisticated dimension comes through.

Palate

very juicy and intense, a distillate of very ripe red and tropical fruits. ABV makes it a mouth-covering experience, with subtle oak and a complex spicy side.

Finish

long, with a very well managed sweetness, still resonating in a drier, nutty component.

Amrut Kadhambam is overall a quite unique "sherry-monster", capable of adding unexpected dimensions to the typical notes. The high ABV pushes the strength of flavors and aromas, without the side-effect of a poorly integrated alcoholic side. The aromatic palette seems varied and reasonably deep, while class is not the most evident of the characteristics. A drink at times suited for winter times.
