Unlocking the Rarest: Amrut Launches its ₹10 Lakh Marquee Indian Single Malt Whisky
The Pinnacle of Excellence: Amrut’s ₹10 Lakh Marquee Indian Single Malt Whisky
In a historic move, Amrut Distillers has launched its ₹10 lakh marquee Indian single malt whisky, a testament to the distiller’s commitment to innovation and excellence. As the country celebrates its 75th anniversary, Amrut commemorates this milestone with the release of Expedition, a single malt that showcases India’s rich distilling heritage and craft.
The Journey of Expedition: A 15-Year Odyssey
Expedition, the latest addition to Amrut’s portfolio, is the oldest and rarest single malt whisky ever produced in India. This expression has undergone an unprecedented 15-year maturation period, a feat never before seen in Indian whisky-making. The journey of Expedition is nothing short of extraordinary.
The Maturation Process: A Symphony of Flavors
The maturation process of Expedition is a complex and intricate orchestration of flavors. The whisky first spent eight years in a specially sourced sherry cask from Europe, developing rich, opulent flavors. The next seven years were spent in an ex-bourbon cask from the United States, further enhancing its complexity and depth. This unique blend of East and West has resulted in a whisky that is truly one-of-a-kind.
A Whisky of Distinction: The Packaging
Each box of Expedition is handcrafted and painted, containing individually engraved and numbered bottles. The bottle features a diamond-cut design with gold engravings forming a custom pattern. The box itself is a masterpiece, integrating metal and wood design, the result of six months of refinement and five prototypes. To take it to the next level, each bottle includes an NFC tag and a custom authentication card, providing details about its origin and release.
A Whisky for the Ages
Expedition is not just a whisky, but a piece of history in a bottle. With only 75 bottles produced, this limited release has attracted interest from collectors and whisky enthusiasts worldwide. It is a testament to Amrut’s commitment to excellence and a reflection of the distiller’s fascination with the art of whisky-making.
A Tribute to Pioneers
Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing Director at Amrut Distillers, remarks, "Expedition is a tribute to my father, Late Mr. Neelkanth Rao Jagdale, whose vision and pioneering spirit put India on the global whisky map. Seeing Amrut reach this milestone is an emotional and proud moment for us. Expedition is not just a whisky—it is history in a bottle."
Release and Availability
Expedition is now available in key markets, including India, the USA, the UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia. With its unique blend of flavors, exquisite packaging, and limited availability, Expedition is set to make waves in the world of whisky connoisseurs.
Conclusion
Amrut’s ₹10 lakh marquee Indian single malt whisky is a game-changer in the world of spirits. It is a testament to the distiller’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and tradition. As we raise a glass to Amrut’s Expedition, we celebrate the spirit of India’s whisky-making heritage and look forward to the next chapter in the journey of Indian single malt whisky.
