Ashok Chokalingam, Amrut, India
"India boasts a thriving whisky industry and Amrut produces a staggering variety of delicious whiskies. The distillery makes use of standard distilling and aging practices and has also created its own interesting and unusual techniques. The Naarangi Single Malt is the perfect example of Amrut’s ingenuity: Three-year-old whisky is aged a second time in a barrel that previously held Oloroso sherry and orange peels. When I tasted the whisky a few years ago with head distiller Ashok Chokalingam, I was blown away by the flavor of the whisky and the brilliant idea of seasoning a cask with fruit peels."
