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.

Strong cinnamon and raisin notes. Reminds me very much of the Clynelish 1997 Distiller's edition, which is one of my favorite sherried whiskies. And this Amrut is significantly cheaper.
I am a big fan of Japanese whiskies such as Karuizawa, Hibiki 21 and Yamazaki japanese oak which are all relatively expensive. For the price I think this is nearly as enjoyable and can only get better. Well worth a try?
I have been a fan of Fusion and have been though 7 bottles. But I was extremely disappointed with the one I bought last week ( Price increased to Rs.2700/- here in Bangalore ) It was like a poor Indian whisky ! Not quite sure what went wrong. Our recommendations to friends will now stop !!
what a drink i had its awesome...no words the best one..i am proud to be a bangaloren..
For my daily needs, Whyte & Mackay does just fine. Amrut Fusion for INR 2500 a bottle was a leap in taste for the price, finished the bottle 3 days from when bought. Was available at a local MRP outlet and well displayed.
