Not the worst blended whisky I have ever had— nor the worst grain heavy mash-bill. It’s not very complex and the whole of the Amrut single malt lineup towers over it in terms of the depth and complexity of the flavor profile. While it was alright, I won’t be searching it out again any time soon. I think I’ll stick to my Amrut single malts.
Curiosity satisfied. I loved this. The baked earthen oven and caramelized vegetable notes hit my right in the savory spot. The unpeated Indian malted barley and the peated Scottish barley are in perfect harmony in this bottle. One brings savory spices, the other sweet peaty smoke, each furthering the complexity of the dram. The whole scene takes me straight to a beachside “Baby’s First Luau,” hanging out with parents and friends in the shade, salty ocean in the air, food slowly cooking.
The lightly peated ‘Edited’ is the middle child of Paul John’s core retail range, sitting between the unpeated ‘Brilliance’ and heavily peated ‘Bold.’ It combines elements of both, balancing the influence of Scottish peated malt against the tropical and tangy malted six-row barley from northern India.
