Product Information

The spirit is then distilled again in Scottish-style, but Indian-made, 5,000-litre copper spirit still with a boil ball. The brand became famous after whisky connoisseur Jim Murray gave it a rating of 82 out of 100 in 2005 and 2010.

The fraction lost to evaporation during ageing, known as the angels' share, is also higher in India, at 11–12% per year, than in Scotland, where the annual evaporative loss is about 2%. Definite barley and honey, a little bit of spice with an almost apple cider finish that quickly disappates and I'm left with just pure honey coating the inside of my mouth. For this reason most of the Amrut single malts are released at around 4 years old - which taste wise are akin to much older whiskies from cooler countries, such as Scotland or Ireland.Amrut Greedy Angels was a limited edition 50% abv, 8-year-old single malt whisky released in April 2013. 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.

Bangalore, where the distillery is located, experiences a tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Amrut is the first single malt whisky to be made in India, Amrut is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as "nectar of the gods", "nectar of life", or "drink of the gods".

Amrut Fusion is one of the pioneering Indian single malt whisky distillery's greatest ever successes, and has been astonishing whisky fans at blind tastings for over a decade now. The manufacturing process involves the use of six 10,000-litre stainless steel fermenters, two unique conical 5,000-litre copper Pot stills with copper condensers and new and used ex- Bourbon barrels. With water, it becomes a different beast altogether, the intense peaty notes reminiscent of peppered smoked fish. Amrut strived to provide a better product that would meet global requirements and employed the help of whisky experts from Scotland to perfect the processes.

The result is a lightly peated whisky with a complex oaky aroma and chocolate fudge sweetness on the palate. The barley is specially grown in the foothills of the Himalayas and the whisky is matured at 3,000ft at Bangalore.
