Rampur Indian Single Malt Double Cask Whisky

Rampur Double Cask is the newest expression from the distillery, or as they call it, the newest “jewel.” This single malt was aged in ex-bourbon barrels for two thirds of the maturation period, and then ex-Oloroso sherry casks.

Nose: Crisp pears show up first, then chill slightly into alpine herbs and a sort of piney-ness. A slightly sour note comes in next, morphing into animal musk on the way out. 

Palate: Thin and light, very juicy. A strong, fresh peach comes through and grows in fruitiness, but becoming closer to dried fruit, pineapple prominently. Alongside the dried fruit comes some of the intensity of very overripe fruit. A last pop of creamy vanilla bean leads out slowly, bringing back some of the juiciness and leaving a lingering pomelo taste. 

ABV: 45%
