Amrut Fusion

I was hard on a bottle of Amrut Fusion that I bought last month before Christmas. It's better now and I'm the first to admit that. Air has helped.

Nose: a bit weak still, but not bad. rum raisins, brown sugar, molasses, smiling goodness but not a warm hug.

Palate: similar to the nose with more staccato. A pleasant oiliness that rolls equally on the tongue with a bit more fore-tongue than some whiskies in this class.

Finish: short to medium. Nothing to write home about, but pleasant to be sure.

I still feel the Fusion is overpriced in Oregon for what you get. Oh well. It's a nice glass but for the money, I would have rather bought another Glenfarclas 105 and I would have if I'd tasted both side by side.

As you may recall in my last review, I was torn between getting a second 105 before they are all gone in Portland, or this Amrut. I prefer the cask strength Farc and I don't think the comparison is unfair. Both are sweet whiskies. I am curious about my bottle of Portonova now, but I probably won't open it for some time.
