Amrut Portonova

NOSE: A Thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie. 

PALATE: This is essentially a port pipe sandwich.... and it shows. The spicy, jammy fruit is interwoven through any amount of caramel while the oaky saltiness gets the taste buds both salivating and puckering until you run dry.

FINISH: Long, massive oak with quite evident traces of the virgin barrels now detectable. And more of a cocoa hue as it progresses. At last some muscovado sugars arrive to supplant the berry fruits.

Distillery: Amrut Distillery is family owned and operated, located in Banglore, India, where it has operated since 1948. Amrut buys bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace and Jack Daniels.

MASTERSON'S 10-YO STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY

Tasting Notes

Colour: NOSE: Rich, luxe aroma.

PALATE: Light and smooth on the palate. Look for notes of sweet, creamy caramel and dried fruit enlivened by a signature rye bite.

FINISH: Sweet delicate finish with just a sprinkling of ginger and cinnamon. 

Distilling Masterson’s is a 100% rye whiskey that far exceeds industry standards for rye whiskey. Their artisans incorporate only the most fragrant and plump grains of rye and pure glacial water from the northern Rockies into a meticulous distillation process that utilizes an old-fashioned pot still. 45% abv.

BOTALCURA - EL DELIRIO RESERVA CHARDONNAY VIOGNIER

Tasting Notes

COLOUR: Medium-pale yellow with yellow highlights.

NOSE: The attractive nose recalls white tree fruits such as apricot, peach, and pear, joined by notes of grapefruit and tangerine, delicately balanced with toast and vanilla.

PALATE/FINISH: Soft and attractive, with broad balance on the mid-palate, delicate top notes, and a characteristic slight bitterness on the medium finish. 

 

 

WINERY 

Botalcura Winery has formed thanks to the passion of two men, Chilean businessman and wine lover, Juan Fernando Waidele and French winemaker, Philippe Debrus. Botalcura is a small village in southern Chile, 3 hours south of Santiago and half an hour northeast of the city of Talca. The Coastal Range forms Maule Valley, from which Botalcura is set among rolling hills and surrounded by nature, it is also home to the elusive quail. A simple town formed by scarcely more than a row of houses along one side of a dirt road; inhabited by kind and extraordinary people, who inspires them and fills them with enthusiasm for sharing their dream of forming an exceptional winery along with them. The word Botalcura means “large stone” in Mapundungun, the language of Chile’s native Mapuche people. Something hard and solid as rock speaks of the power of the gods and of what’s enduring. Both of these ideas come together in the wines of Botalcura Winery. The indomitable yet generous power of nature, the source of the intense and concentrated vines, combines with the certainty of transcending time, of making time an ally that will bear out the excellence of Botalcura Wines…
