Rampur Barrel Blush is the latest release from the Indian distillery, recently presented for the first time at Whisky Live in Paris 2024 and available starting in fall in US, UK and EU.
An interesting mix of tropical character and finish in wine, without major surprises. The spirit is at its best at 45% ABV, with silent alcohol and some tropical fruit intensity (mango, guava, pineapple, the latter truly ripe) and some sophisticated vanilla hints. In the second part the wine finish is more evident, with intense red berries in dense jam. Not surprising, yet well executed.
Here the spiciness and the tannins of wine are more evident; the mix of oriental and salt/pepper spices is enjoyable, however the red wine casks are adding some complexity with an interesting sweet aftertaste. The fruit is an unbalanced mix of red and tropical. It is for sure less integrated than the nose, yet more fun.
Medium duration, with some astringency and lots of spices.
Rampur Barrel Blush is an interesting whisky, adding a rather complex, maybe slightly unbalanced and not integrated, yet funny and enjoyable palate to a more straight-forward nose. Funny, yet best releases are still to come as Rampur may perfection the complex deal between wine casks and tropical whisky.
