So the Western Scots aren’t the only ones to come up with strange names for their no-age-statement whiskies! Kadhambam means ‘mixture’ in Tamil and this baby is quite a mixture indeed. Let’s quote the press release, for once: ‘Kadhambam is the result of Amrut Single Malt Whisky and a small portion of Amrut Peated Single Malt Whisky being initially matured in ex-Oloroso sherry butts. It was then put in ex-Bangalore Blue Brandy casks and matured for a further period. Next it was emptied into ex-rum casks and matured for a further period. Both the brandy and rum casks had previously been used to mature Amrut’s own rum and brandy – which are immensely popular in the Indian market.’ Some recipe! But let’s try it now…
Colour: gold. Nose: starts fresh and quite caramelised, with notes of black cherries and kirsch as well as quite some coffee. Gets then a tad meaty, with also a little strawberry sauce and dark chocolate. Orange blossom. Sort of multidimensional. With water: unusual herbal notes come through now, with a little ginger tonic, capsicum and maybe peat... All that on a bed of barley sugar. Rather smooth. Mouth (neat): rather oily, rich, with again notes of cherries and chocolate. Goes on with some toasted brioche and quite some malt as well as roasted nuts. With water: some pleasant notes of cinchona, the whole being quite sweet. Candy sugar and sweet pepper. Finish: rather long, perfectly balanced, with a sweet spiciness. Sweet mustard and peat in the aftertaste. Comments: it has something of some recent Highland Park from refill sherry, such as the St Magnus 12yo. A rather complex dram, with a profile that’s quite unique in its ‘wideness’. SGP:552 - 85 points.
