Amrut

India's Single Malt Pioneer

Amrut has been distilling since 1948 but only entered the single malt market in 2004. The tropical Indian climate accelerates maturation — Amrut loses 12% to the angels' share annually (vs. 2% in Scotland), meaning a 5-year-old Indian whisky can rival a 15-year-old Scotch in intensity.
