    S4 Episode 6: Indian Whisky & Greedy Angels

    Show Notes: The Whiskey - Amrut Indian Single Malt Whisky 46% ABV (92 Proof) Price: $77.16  ($69.99 plus $7.17 tax) 100% malted barley Aged in New American Oak and ex-bourbon barrels for at least 4 years Tasting notes (courtesy of the website) Appearance / Color: Golden yellow Nose / Aroma / Smell: liquorice-bourbon notes (“near perfect bitter-sweet balance); burnt honeycomb and toffee Flavor / Taste / Palate: richness and sheen to the enormous barely-oak sweetness; big bourbon taste with notes of liquorice and molasses sugar and barley Finish: long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death “Most of the 189 million cases of Whisky produced in India isn’t what we would consider Whisky. Rather than being made from malted grains, it is made from molasses and is thick and very sweet. In fact, Whisky accounts for nearly 60% of the Indian-made foreign liquor market.” -https://flaviar.com/blog/indian-whisky/ What we're (also) reading: The Complete Whiskey Course Our ultimate goal adventure: The Irish Whiskey Academy Our Instagram handles: The Show @thewhiskeyqueens | Paul @pdashton | Nick @wayfaringandwhiskey Visit us at www.whiskeyqueens.com

    S4 Episode 5: Parlez-vous Whisky?

    Bastille Blended Whisky - http://www.bastillewhisky.com/ 40% ABV There are two expressions coming from the distillery - the blended whisky, which I’m drinking, and the Single Malt - the single malt being much more expensive - about $80 I think. This retails for about $35-$40, and I got it for $20 The tasting notes from the distillery are as follows: Color: Bright orange/amber in color Nose: Orange Marmalade, Dried Apricot, Spice Cake, Pineapple Blossoms and Suede Palate: Vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a long, Orange Bread Crust, Peach Cobbler, Peppery Spice and limestone accented finish. “A remarkably fruity, exotic and enigmatic whisky that will make unique cocktails.” Recipe: The Bastille Sour Bastille WHISKY 2oz Elderflower Liqueur 3/4oz Fresh Lemon Juice 3/4 One white egg Serve in a rock glass
