Neidhal Peated Indian Single Malt (Single Malts of India)

These notes are from a blind tasting (Flaviar Advent Calendar) The smell is awesome. Light peat, brine/salt, barley sugar, vanilla, and campfire smoke. The taste - a blast of peat smoke, salt, sweet barley, and vanilla. Wow - this is really good. After a bit of water, you open up some oak, black pepper, cinnamon, and clove.   The finish is long with peat smoke, vanilla and clove spice carrying it through. This is my favorite so far from the advent calendar. I’d happily have this on my shelf any day of the week. Plenty of flavor and complexity here.  Overall Grade: B+  (Very Good)

An elegant, peated Indian Single Malt Whisky sourced from a coastal Indian distillery by Amrut Distillerin in Kambipura, India with only 12,000 bottles available at 46% ABV.'It has an aromatic birth with notes of tropical fruits, vanilla, soft phenols & sea spray; while a rich life adds notes of fruit cocktail & a hint of iodine; that leads to a balanced death of medium length with notes of medicine & peat smoke.

Holy peat. A smoky vanilla with a bit of salt. Oddly enough, there's a bit of medicinal or chloraseptic smell to this as well. Hard to get into anything that makes me think I've just been swabbed in prep for a blood draw Surprisingly, this is a really smooth drink. A rich vanilla and heavy smoke pour through. The peatiness you'd expect with a single malt and a touch of bite mid-finish.

Everyone who reviewed this was not expecting a peated spirit. Shame they're dragging this through the mud because it's really quite good. You could have fooled me if you told me it was Scotch. You get the peat right away, some pineapple, slightly medicinal. Kind of reminds me of Ardbeg.

tasted against the indri single malt and jal canadian style indian whisky. was the peaty of the three, with the jal being very sweet. in an old fashioned worked well, the orange peel brpught out some more interesting notes. not amazing but fairly well balanced and a good mixer

Part of the Flavian tasting calendar. First bourbon that I tried and poured out. I felt like it had zero redeeming qualities - from a chemical with soft fruit undertones for a nose and rather salty, sharp taste. Life is too short for bad whiskey.
