Amrut Single Malt Whisky

Amrut Single Malt Whisky, India

Nose: Distinctly confident liquorice-bourbon notes with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound

Taste: Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big bourbon cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molassed sugar normally associated, but the barley adds that extra dimension

Finish: Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet/dry theme. A touch silky with some cream toffee at the end.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Made with 100% Indian barley, this burnished-gold whisky is perfumed with scents of vanilla, coconut and white flowers. Almond and brown sugar flavors dominate the palate, followed by peat smoke and a long, honeyed finish, with a slight floral note and a bit of alcohol sting."

89/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST

Also awarded "Liquid Gold Award", Jim Murray's Whisky Bible (2014) and DOUBLE GOLD, San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2025)

According to Indian Mythology, when Gods and Rakshasas - the demons - churned the oceans using the mountain Meru as churner, a golden pot sprang out containing the Elixir of Life. That was called the "Amrut". The great founders of our distillery aptly named it Amrut Distilleries. AMRUT Single Malt Whisky is a product of many years research to produce whiskies matching world standards. This whisky is made from selected Indian barley grown at the feet of the Himalayas, nurtured by the waters flowing there and cultivated by old and traditional agricultural practices. It is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches to preserve the natural aroma and matured in oak barrels in a unique tropical condition, at an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level at Bangalore, the garden city of India. To retain the natural characteristics of this oak aged Indian Malt Whisky, we do not chill filter, some haze may therefore be noticed in the product. Amrut presents this product as a humble tribute to the Indian farmer, who has grown this barley with care and affection with which he has tilled the soil. We hope as a connoisseur of all good things you will appreciate this fine product at your leisure
