Amrut’s ‘City Of Joy’ Is A Whisky Crafted For Kolkata
Why Kolkata, you may wonder? Well, Amrut chose this vibrant city as the exclusive launch spot for a reason. Kolkata is known for its intellectual richness and appreciation for craftsmanship. It is the perfect backdrop for a whisky that seeks to honour heritage while celebrating the future. The City of Joy Edition perfectly encapsulates the heart of Bengal in a bottle.
Every bottle of the edition tells a story, and its packaging is a visual masterpiece in itself. The label showcases Kolkata’s iconic Howrah Bridge, intertwined with imagery of rickshaw pullers navigating through the city’s historic streets and graceful folk dancers swaying to the rhythm of Bengal’s cultural beat. At the heart of the design is the Victoria Memorial, representing the region’s colonial heritage. Each detail on the packaging makes it a truly immersive experience.
The Whisky Inside The Bottle
The City of Joy Edition isn’t just about the visual appeal; the liquid inside the bottle is nothing short of extraordinary. This edition, at 48% ABV, offers a fresh twist on Kolkata’s whisky scene. It has a nose of golden syrup, vanilla, citrus, oak, and dried fruits, with a hint of mint. The taste is honeyed and fruity, like orange marmalade, with a balance of oak, peat, and a touch of clove. The finish is sweet with a spicy, phenolic aftertaste. It is a smooth, complex whisky that’s sure to impress.
Available exclusively in Kolkata’s retail stores, this limited edition is not just a drink but a piece of Kolkata’s history and culture captured in liquid form. So, whisky lovers of Kolkata, it’s time to raise a glass to this exceptional release. This whisky promises to transport you through the rich cultural heritage of Bengal with every sip.
