Fusion is a particularly apt name for this fantastic single malt whisky from Amrut. Y'see, it's made with barley grown in India, where the Amrut Distillery can be found, as well as peated barley from Scotland! Makes sense, right? Not just a clever name, it's also a cracking whisky, offering up generous helpings of fresh fruit, honey, spice and a good whiff of smoke.
Rich, barley, fruity. Big on citrus, spices, creamy sweetness. A hint of peat.
Oaky, rich, gentle peat, coffee, dark chocolate. Fruity.
Long, spiced, marmalade, sweetness.

Finally found this dram at a nice restaurant last night. I have been looking to try this one for a while now. I really liked this whisky. It was an explosion of flavour and became one of my new favourites.
It has become an icon in any bar but still remains a very hard to find as the demand is ever increasing. A perfect and easy drinkable whisky yet being very complex with hints of vanilla, spices, coffee and a wonderful altogether package, anyday better than some 4 times costlier whiskys. If you come across one grab it before someone else does.
I tried a bottle in India and LOVED it. Complex yet balanced, good fragrance, nice finish. Then I bought a bottle of one of their other whisky's and was solidly disappointed. I suspect the reviewers giving this a bad review may have accidently purchased the wrong variant. I did and I regret it. But I loved the Fusion.
I'd been on a search for balanced peaty and fruity kind of whisky since long and had tried various islay and speyside malts besides the blended ones...To my surprise it is the one i cannot conmplain(not easy to please me)......I'd rather rate it much higher than glenfiddich, burnfoot, talisker, balvenie and many others i tried....My personal opinion.
A real surprise. Once I got past my Scotch snobbery and bought this I was so pleasantly surprised. It actually tastes Indian, in ways that defy easy explanation. There's spice, wet wood, exotic fruit and a warm, rainy fragrance. Just lovely. And it's cheap, for a quality whisky, so no excuse to widen the palate and experience.
