Amrut Portnova. Whisky in the 6

[@thomasbuck303]

I really enjoy the Amrut Cask strength and think they have a good thing going for them. It's a nice unique expression.

[@damnedbythedram951]

A great whisky and another great review, keep up the good work. Cheers from Sweden

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thanks brother

[@triplecap4307]

Just opened my bottle tonight and was glad to find this review. Just crazy (and I mean crazy) goodness. Nice to see your review Rob. Agreed you don't need water, but you should.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Ya totally should at that abv

[@garyk3675]

Blueberries and walnuts - sounds like what I eat in the morning regularly. I finished off a bottle of Amrut Portonova last winter. I found it hot but delicious. When it was cold, we drank it as a Hot Toddy - hot water, lots of lemon, some clove, a touch of maple syrup and an ounce plus of Portonova in a mug. Not what I usually do with a great whisky - but it worked great with this bottle!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Gary K sounds delicious Gary. Cheers.

Great review Rob. Have you compared this to the Kavalan Solist Port Cask? I'm luvin that one and thinking of getting the Portonova if its in the same league!...Thanks for all the great reviews!.......Slainte'

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Glad you like them G. Cheers!

[@foodquig]

I have had the Portonova and liked it. I had a cask strength Amrut made from barley grown in the Himalayan foothills of Punjab, and it was alright. I never had the intermediate sherry, although I searched far and wide for it... I'm with you on the Fusion. Mine also evaporated in record time as if someone was helping me empty the bottle even though I live alone. I highly recommend getting another bottle of fusion to you and to myself because I agree that it's the best Amrut if not the best Indian whisky.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

foodquig I absolutely love the Fusion. Need to find more of it.

[@foodquig]

@@WhiskyInThe6 It's in stock at BC Liquor stores for $92.99 and worth it!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

foodquig that’s an amazing price Quig. Grab 3 bottles.

[@bourbonbrofessor9938]

Great review. I tried some of the Amrut at a tasting the non peated cask strength was my favorite of what I had. None of them would be a bad choice.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thinking of grabbing a peated Cask Strength.

[@bourbonbrofessor9938]

@@WhiskyInThe6 Bet that would good. Look forward to that review!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Nice review. Bottles of this just popped up by me but for $120 USD per bottle. May have to pick one up now.

[@WhiskeyQuests]

It’s that good that you want it all for yourself lol. Great review. I’ll put this on my wishlist.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Whiskey Quests lol yep. Don’t mind sharing but want the bottle within grasp.

[@cobrajetjoe]

Great review Rob. I've had a bottle of the Intermediate Sherry which I really enjoyed . Going to have to find me one of those as well

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Joe Mezz (Cobrajetjoe) you’ll love it if you loved the other Joe

[@therandomyoutubechannel3026]

We never drink whiskey neat over here in India , at the least ice is added .

[@peterwhite507]

I have 1/3 bottle of Fusion left, it's yours. Problem is the Fusion being somewhat peated may not make a flight of Amrut's a fair test. The Portonova is my favorite but the IS and the single cask Bourbon matured are right there for me. Last night I had a Amrut Naarangie at a tasting and I was not too impressed with it. Would love to get my hands on the Amrut Rye, Spectrum's are out of my reach with secondary prices in the BTAC/Pappy ranges

[@WhiskyInThe6]

peter white that rye is probably stellar.

[@garyk3675]

By the way, in addition to the Fusion, the Portonova, and the Intermediate Sherry, I also have the Amrut Double Cask which is bottled at only 46% and aged in Bourbon and PX Sherry casks. Have you seen it? Would be curious to hear you compare all 4!

[@thewhiskyfriend]

Nice one rob..as usual....

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thank you

[@vishnuquick]

Hi Rob, thank you for doing the portonova. Is it big on port flavours?. Your review doesn't seem to suggest so. How does it compare with a few of the other port finishes, say quinta ruben for instance?. Thoroughly enjoying your videos. keep'em coming.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Vishnu Mohan it’s super sweet but that’s also due to the new oak. Can definitely tell it’s wine aged just not specifically Port.

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

Hi guys @@WhiskyInThe6 Rob I reviewed that one (I have home as well) I don't think there's other kind of finishes involved except Port (Port finishes can give either a thick fruity feel or a rather winey one-I prefer when it's the first case-and I tried many, coz this is one my favorite finishes) but got no evidence of the contrary as well, so it's just my opinion, my friend. Anyway this one is one of my very favorite AMRUT ever, but I have to say it's very strong on alcohol & dries quickly especially in my rather hot all year long flat, and it has quickly after the opening become undrinkable without water...

[@distlledbrewedreviewed]

Hey Rob, I had a personal tour of a new bourbon distillery called Second Sight Spirits in Kentucky. They have a handmade one-of-a-kind still with a crystal ball. Coolheck it out if you get a chance I posted the video yesterday let me know what you think. Thanks John

[@WhiskyInThe6]

HillbillySelectReviews will do buddy. Cheers.

[@bbjap5956]

Great review!... I love how the Indian/Taiwanese whiskies are a nice counter point to scotch and North American styles... have u had the greedy angel? Or the double cask?...

[@WhiskyInThe6]

BBJAP I’ve had the 8 year greedy angel. Wasn’t overly impressed. Haven’t tried the double cask.

[@bbjap5956]

Whisky In The 6 good to know... I won’t spend the cash to get the greedy angel!... thanks!... you should definitely do a amrut lineup review!.

[@alexalxatallah]

@@WhiskyInThe6 Tried fusion (not a big fan of this one), single malt, greedy angels 8 year, bengal tiger cask peated port, portonova, and madeira finish. Think the portonova is my favorite.

[@Seattle206723]

#42nd thumbs up ma man. They have some Amrut Kadhambam down here in my area. Any thoughts?

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Seattle206723 never heard of that. What’s its story, abv, cask?

[@Seattle206723]

Matured in 3 different cask-types - 'Bangalore Blue Brandy' casks, Rum casks, and Oloroso Sherry Butts. $119.99 Down here ma man

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Seattle206723 wow

[@zaggy777]

How is this one compared to the Kavalan solist port cask?

[@WhiskyInThe6]

zaggy777 I can only speak to the Kavalan Port that I reviewed. This isn’t as good as that but not immensely far off.

[@philipn5162]

This or the spectrum 004?
