Aged in new American Oak Barrels and ex-Bourbon Barrels. 100% Indian 6 row barley.
There is no age statement as maturation occurs at 3,000 ft with an average temperature of 91 degrees and humidity of 70% therefore the angel’s share is considerable and can be as high as 12% per year. (generally 2% in Scotland). It is estimated that 1 year of aging in Bangalore = 3 years in Scotland.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Distinctly confidant liquorice-bourbon notes with near perfect bitter - sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound.
PALATE: Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big bourbony cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molasses sugar normally associated; but the barley adds that extra dimension.
FINISH: Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death.
Also available in cask strength.
