[34] The Second Edition of 1,260 was released in October 2011. [34] Amrut Greedy Angels [ edit ] Final Thoughts: The Amrut Single Malt Cask Strength is much better than the regular Amrut Single Malt. Even though it is cask strength, it isn’t as rough as it is cut down at 46% ABV.

It is the first single malt whisky to be made in India. [1] Amrut (अमृत) or amrit is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as "nectar of the gods", [2] [3] "nectar of life", [4] or "drink of the gods". [5] The company translates it as "Elixir of Life". [6] The brand became famous after whisky connoisseur Jim Murray gave it a rating of 82 out of 100 in 2005 and 2010. In 2010 Murray named Amrut Fusion single malt whisky as the third best in the world. [2] [7] [8] John Hansell, editor of American magazine Whisky Advocate, wrote that "India's Amrut distillery changed the way many think of Indian whisky – that it was, in the past, just cheap Scotch whisky blended with who knows what and sold as Indian whisky. Amrut is making whisky, and it's very good".

On the nose, bold notes of vanilla, citrus, raisins, and cereal malt are joined by a touch of salinity for a surprisingly complex experience. I sat with it for a while, enjoying the different aromas that come out of the glass. Nose: At first it smells like nothing except nail polish remover. I decided to let it air because I’m finding that Amrut’s whiskies need time to reveal themselves. A mild earthiness, or fresh soil, blends with soot. A rich demerara syrup mingles with raisin. The duration of barrel-ageing for Amrut single malt whisky is much lower than that of Scotch whisky, due to India's hotter climate. The hot weather makes whisky mature faster in India than it does in Europe or the United States. [2] Surinder Kumar, the master blender at Amrut Distilleries, has estimated that one year of barrel-ageing in India is equal to three years of ageing in Scotland. [9] The whisky is generally aged for four-and-a-half years, although it may be higher for some variants. Bangalore, where the distillery is located, experiences a tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. The city is situated at an altitude of 3000 feet above sea level and usually enjoys a moderate climate throughout the year. [26] Winter temperatures rarely drop below 12°C (54°F), and summer temperatures seldom exceed 34–35°C (<100°F). [27] As a result of these conditions, whisky is ready to be bottled after 4–5 years of barrel-ageing. According to Kumar, the whisky starts "reaching its peak in four years", after which it has to be tasted regularly because "by five years it starts to get too much tannin". [16] The fraction lost to evaporation during aging, 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%. [2] Most of the angel's share is water due to Bangalore's dry climate. [16] Amrut became popular when a whisky expert named Jim Murray gave it a high rating in 2005 and 2010. He thought it was really good In fact, one type of Amrut whisky called Fusion was ranked as the third-best whisky in the world by Murray in 2010.

Amrut Greedy Angels was a limited edition 50% abv, 8-year-old single malt whisky released in April 2013. Amrut Distilleries claims that it is the oldest Indian whisky ever produced. Its name comes from the term angels' share, the portion of whisky lost during maturation. The eight-year maturation in Bangalore resulted in a high evaporative loss of 12% per annum, or a total loss of 274 litres of spirit over eight years, from the two Bourbon casks the distillery had used. [35] When filled in 2004, the casks held approximately 360 litres of spirit. [36] Only 144 bottles or 86 litres of whisky were released worldwide. [35] Greedy Angels was dedicated to celebrate the 60th birthday of Amrut Distilleries chairman and MD, Neelakanta Jagdale. [36] Amrut Double Cask [ edit ] Outlook Business". Amrut Distilleries.

Amrut Intermediate Sherry was launched at Whisky Live Paris on 25 September 2010.. The spirit used in the product is matured in either ex-Bourbon or new casks, and then in Sherry casks imported from Spain and Portugal. [19] According to head of international operations Ashok Chokalingam, "In our belief, it is not all about the influence of Sherry in the whisky. It is about the balanced profile of the whisky – to see how the Sherry butts can complement the whisky rather than dominating it".

You Eat this.” Neelkanta passed away on May 19, 2019, to join Dionysius in heaven, leaving his legacy on Earth to remain strong and brisk like his creation, Amrut Fusion.

It is produced using 25% Scottish peated barley and 75% unpeated Indian barley. [31] According to Neelkanta Jagdale, "We did not want to pass it off as Scotch whisky, which it isn't. The USP of Fusion was its Indian origin. That is another reason we never seriously considered giving it a foreign name".
