I had no idea what to expect from this one. I found the Rampur Select to be a balanced and tasty whisky. Definitely curious as to the age, given what they say about the climate of the region. Given the color, one might guess somewhere between the eight to ten year range. As a reference, the closest flavor profile would be along the lines of a Japanese whisky. It’s a win and would certainly be interested in tasting other expressions from Rampur.
