{"product_id":"amrut-peated","title":"Amrut Peated","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Indian Single Malt Whisky, peated to a phenol level of 24ppm and bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the Indian climate is too tropical for peat to develop, Amrut reached out to a Scottish malting company in Aberdeenshire to produce a peated barley to their specification using mainland peat, which has a distinctive smokiness. For the rest of their portfolio, made up mainly of un-peated malts, Amrut uses Indian barley grown in the foothills of the Himalayas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dry grain then crosses the seas to arrive at Amrut Distillery in Bangalore, India, where it is mashed, brewed, distilled and decanted into first-fill and re-fill ex-bourbon American Oak barrels to mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Bangalore sits at an altitude of 3,000ft above sea level, with distinct wet and dry seasons and a high average temperature; this combination of factors causes the maturation of whisky to occur at a much faster rate – Amrut Master Blender, Surinder Kumar, estimates that one year of barrel-ageing in India is equivalent to three years of ageing in Scotland. Guided by this, Amrut’s Single Malt Peated reaches its peak quality by 5 years when it is bottled at 46%ABV and not chill-filtered, to capture the best characteristics and maintain the luscious nose and distinctive toasted element with a spicy edge on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amrut Distilleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46489894649935,"sku":"WC0018","price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/amrut_peated.png?v=1787700858","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/amrut-peated","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
