Tasting Notes

About:

46% ABV. Blend Indian whisky made with indigenous six-row barley and matured in first-fill bourbon, ex-French wine, and PX sherry casks. 750ml $60.
Appearance:
Coppery amber
Nose:
The dram starts off with fresh garden mint. There is a bit of cocoa powder and nuttiness to it like marzipan that wafts in and out. Near the end, I get a bit of dirt and mulch with a small touch of smoke.
Palate:
The whisky is rather juicy and fruity, but not like the gum. Banana Laffy Taffy mingles with lemon verbena for the majority of the sip. The mouthfeel is a little oily with zest. Red cherry and apricot punch out the middle before finishing with cinnamon and oak. The whisky is only slightly smokey with a layer of earthiness. It took a while for me to decipher the lingering note on the palate, but I narrowed it down to coconut.
Finish:
Comments:
The Indri Trini Three Wood has truly changed my mind about Indian whisky. The three types of casks used really benefit the dram with a multitude of flavors. The whisky comes off as earthy, fruity, and spiced. The oak does not overpower the liquid and the sweltering climate has matured the whisky nicely. The blender did an impeccable job creating balance and a great single malt.
