For those who might be interested, here is something from The Globe and Mail, Toronto. Mervyn --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amrut Fusion Single Malt, India SCORE: 91 PRICE: $68 Distilled in India from Indian and Scottish barleys, Amrut is well-rounded with a satisfying balance of flavours, which hint at barley, creamy vanilla, fruit, smoke and spice. It controls its 50-per-cent alcohol well. Amazing fact: Jim Murray, London-based author of the Whisky Bible, ranked it No. 3 in the world for 2010, with a score of 97 out of 100. In spirits circles that’s a coup for India on a par with the Slumdog Oscar. My quibble: The flavours appear on stage all at the same time; I’d prefer some plot twists and more of a dramatic arc. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/beppi-crosariol/japanese-scotch-dont-knock-it-until-youve-tried-it/article1875030/
