The Indian subcontinent may not be what comes to mind when one thinks of whiskey, yet Amrut Single Malt is rated as one of the top three brands in the world, according to Jim Murray, author of The Whisky Bible 2010.
Downtown whiskey bar Reserve 101 introduces this rare Bangalore single malt to Houston spirits fans at a complimentary tasting on Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 6:30 p.m. Register for this limited-space event at http://reserve101.com/whiskey-tastings-houston.
Tasting attendees will sample three single malt offerings from the Amrut distillery: Fusion (fruity, peaty, with hints of oak and vanilla); Peated Malt (smoky, peaty, oaky, spicy and fruity); and Cask Strength (bitter-sweet, with a jolt of blood orange).
According to Indian mythology, the Gods and demons churned the ocean to produce a golden pot containing “amrut,” the elixir of life. The distillery of the same name dates to 1948. Its whiskeys are produced and aged 3,000 feet above sea level at the base of the Himalayas.
Reserve 101 is located the heart of Houston’s downtown EaDo entertainment district at the corner of Caroline and Dallas, next to Dirt Bar and across from House of Blues. In addition to its superb whiskey collection (nearly 200 varieties, best in the Southwest), the neighborhood bar is also famous for its Signature Cocktails and infusions, organic material steeped in liquor to impart distinctive flavorings.
“Happy Hour,” with dollar-off beers and wines and half-price signature cocktails runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday with specials just about every day of the week, including Sundays.
