Conclusion: good stuff. She can handle a drop or two of water to get her a bit toned down, so she does not attack the tastebuds as fierce as she does at first.
In a very short time, Amrut has grown from my 'one to watch' list into something that is a serious player that needs some more attention.
More info: She has been maturing in ex-Brandy casks, ex-Rum casks and ex-Oloroso sherry butts.
