Amrut Expedition: India’s Oldest & Rarest Single Malt Whisky Unveiled in a Historic Release

 


Amrut has unveiled India’s Oldest & Rarest Single Malt, marking a historic milestone for the country’s alco-bev industry. This extraordinary expression has undergone an unprecedented 15-year maturation period, spending eight years in a Sherry cask before transitioning to an ex-Bourbon cask for an additional seven years. With only 75 bottles crafted, this release is a testament to Amrut’s pursuit of perfection and a significant moment in India’s whisky heritage.

The Expedition’s packaging exudes grandeur, resembling a royal heirloom with a design that seamlessly merges metal and wood. Each handcrafted box houses individually engraved and numbered bottles, making each unit a unique collector’s piece. The bottle features a distinctive diamond-cut design with intricate gold engravings and a regal silver peg measure crafted by a skilled Bangalore silversmith. Authenticity is ensured through an NFC tag and a bespoke authentication card embedded in every bottle, narrating the story behind this historic release.

The global launch of Amrut Expedition spans key markets worldwide, including India, the USA, the UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia. Priced at over USD 12,000, this release signifies a transformative moment for Indian manufacturers, once underestimated for their offerings. The launch of Expedition celebrates not only India’s oldest single malt but also the remarkable journey of Amrut over the decades.
