The Whisky Exchange	Amrut Indian Peated Malt Indian Single Malt Whisky Country: Indian   Region: Indian Age:    Strength: 46% Summary: 70cl / 46% – The new 46% Amruts are a very different proposition to the pleasant but unexciting original release. At the higher strength this 24ppm peated effort fairly fizzes along the tastebuds. This is excellent – hugely improved stuff from a distillery coming along in leaps and bounds.	70cl	£ 40.95  BUY NOW
