Kamet is a collaboration between Peak Spirits and Master Blender Surrinder Kumar, one of the leading voices in India’s whisky-making evolution. Few single malts have been released from India, and this, the first release from Kamet, reinforces the country’s new position on the world whisky stage. Kamet is twice-distilled in copper pot stills, using six-row barley grown in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is aged in a combination ex-bourbon American oak, ex-wine French Oak, and Ex-Sherry Casks (Pedro Ximenez & Oloroso). Non-chill filtered and with no added colour.
A rich nose of char and maple syrup, vanilla, stewed prunes, and toasted pecans concentrates into a lean and savory palate of freshly cracked black pepper, arugula, and pine nuts, with a finish of English Breakfast Tea and pleasant tannin. -Distributor's Notes
