Tuesday, 12 May 2026 at 08:51

The international whisky scene has gained another standout release. Turntable Spirits has unveiled its third Collaboration Drop. Once again, this partnership crosses borders in the best possible way. After Australia and Ireland, Scotland is now effortlessly paired with India.

The new collaboration between Turntable Spirits and Amrut Distilleries delivers a striking blended whisky. As always, the whisky is built from multiple components that come together for a burst of flavor. The element in the spotlight this time is Amrut’s Indian single malt.

The blend breakdown: Indian and Scottish craftsmanship in harmony

This release is a carefully constructed blend featuring elements from India and Scotland. The composition shows how different styles can elevate one another. Below is the exact blend breakdown and what each brings to the whisky:

36% Amrut 1st fill bourbon barrel: notes of barley, apricot, and honey.
25% BenRiach ex-Madeira barrique: butterscotch and peach.
23% Tamdhu 2nd fill bourbon barrel: roasted almonds.
16% Cameronbridge 2nd fill red wine barrel: banana and cinnamon.

Tasting notes for Turntable Collaboration Drop 03: Amrut

This new blended whisky in the Collaboration Drop series lets both whisky nations shine in their own way. Every component in the breakdown is expertly tuned by the Stevenson brothers. The exotic tones of Indian whisky, for instance, meet the character of BenRiach, which brings a gentle twist from its ex-Madeira casks. But how does it actually taste?

On the nose and palate, rich, sweet, and spicy elements intertwine. Think honey and butterscotch poured over ripe peaches, layered with roasted almonds for extra depth. Subtle spices like cinnamon and clove provide balance, while the finish rolls in waves of tropical fruit.

The whole experience evokes a luxurious dessert, yet with the power and complexity you expect from a high-caliber whisky. It’s highly approachable without sacrificing character or depth.

The higher strength of 53% alcohol by volume (ABV) delivers a flavor explosion on the palate. Add a drop of water and the whisky opens up like a spring flower, revealing more subtle nuances.

Two worlds in one bottle

What truly sets this whisky collaboration apart is how different worlds come together. Amrut’s tropical influences meld effortlessly with classic Scottish components. The same goes for the bottle.

The classic Turntable bottle with its short neck is dressed in a brightly colored label packed with key details. The label’s palette nods to Indian spices while also evoking a modern music album with cheerful, inviting tones.
