Why Choose Amrut Peated Single Malt?

This whisky offers an intense yet balanced peated experience, combining robust smoke with smooth malt and spice. Its unique Indian maturation process enhances complexity, making it a standout for peat lovers and whisky enthusiasts alike.

Why is Amrut Distillery key to the rise of Indian single malt whisky?

Amrut Distillery, founded in 1948 in Bangalore, helped launch Indian single malt onto the global stage. Before Amrut, most Indian whisky used molasses and didn’t meet international standards. In contrast, Amrut used Indian-grown barley and matured its spirit in oak casks—just like traditional single malts.

What makes Amrut unique is its climate. Located at a high altitude with tropical heat, the distillery sees whisky mature faster. As a result, its malts develop intense, rich flavours in just a few years.

Since its first global release in 2004, Amrut has built a strong portfolio. Core expressions like Amrut Indian Single Malt offer classic barley notes. Meanwhile, Amrut Fusion blends Indian and Scottish barley for a bold, smoky profile. Then there’s Triparva, India’s first triple-distilled single malt—showcasing their ongoing innovation.

In short, Amrut combines tradition, climate, and creativity to stand as a true pioneer in world whisky.
