Heritage and innovation

Amrut Single Malt was launched in the international market in 2004 and quickly gained recognition for its quality.
Unique climate and production process
Amrut takes advantage of the unique climate of southern India, which allows the whisky to mature extraordinarily quickly. The warm weather accelerates the interaction between the whisky and the wood, allowing Amrut whiskies to develop a depth and complexity in a shorter time that is usually only found in much older whiskies. They use these geographical advantages to produce a characteristically rich and intense whisky.
