Crafted with Precision in India’s Premier Whisky Distillery

Amrut Distilleries has received over 50 international awards for its exceptional single malts and rums. As the first Indian distillery to produce single malt whisky to Scotch Whisky Association standards, Amrut has earned a prestigious reputation among global whisky enthusiasts.

Produced using 100% Indian-grown barley from the northern states of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, this whisky benefits from India’s unique aging climate. Aged in Bangalore’s tropical conditions, where temperatures remain consistent year-round and the altitude sits at 3,000 feet, the whisky matures 3.5 times faster than Scotch, delivering complex flavors in fewer years.

Maturation and Cask Selection

The distillery sources barrels from renowned American bourbon producers, including Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, and Jack Daniel’s. A combination of new American oak and first-fill bourbon barrels is used to enhance character and complexity. Each barrel contributes depth, while the controlled use of peat ensures balance between smoky notes and the signature fruit-forward style of Amrut.
