HUMBLED BY over 65 SIGNIFICANT international awards


AMRUT means "Immortality" in Sanskrit or in ancient Indian texts it means "NECTAR. Amrut is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as "nectar of the gods", "nectar of life", or "drink of the gods".

CLIMATE: Bangalore or Bengaluru in modern India, 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. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 12 °C (54 °F), and summer temperatures seldom exceed 34–35 °C.

AGING: Research done in Scotland has shown that Amrut Single Malt Whisky aged in Bangalore, India ages approximately 3.5 times faster than Scottish aged whisky. This is due to the altitude of 3000 ft above sea level and the constant climate temperature of 78 degrees F. If on average an Amrut Whisky is aged for 4.5 years in Bangalore, then it has the smoothness and profile of a Whisky aged in Scotland for 12 - 15 years.

 
 

PEOPLE: The company prefers to limit automation in order to maintain jobs at the distillery. A large number of the employees are woman and are considered key income earners in their families.

 

PEDIGREE: AMRUT was the first Indian distillery to export an Indian Single Malt Whisky produced according to Scotch Whisky Association Standards

 

CASKS: Amrut buys bourbon barrels from notable American Distilleries, based in Tennessee and Kentucky. Amrut uses both American new oak and used bourbon barrels in its aging process. This is part of Amrut being the missing link between Scotland and Kentucky.

 

THE BARLEY used in Amrut Indian Single Malt Whisky is 6 row, vs 2 row in Scotland. This results in smaller grains with more flavors and a slightly sweeter taste profile. Barley is 100% Indian grown and comes from Northern States of Haryana, Punjab + Rajasthan.

 

TIME: Amrut's first Single Malt Whisky made it's debute in Glasgow, Scotland on August 24, 2004. It's first rum was produced in 1950. Amrut Distillieries was founded in 1948 by JN Rao Jagdale and the company is currently operated by the third generation of Jagdale family members.

WHISKY AS NATURE INTENDED

 
 

Family-owned since 1995, Blackadder represents whisky in its purest form. Founded by whisky expert Robin Tucek and now run alongside his children Hannah and Michael, this independent bottler delivers expressions that would feel at home in a 19th-century Scottish tavern.

THE CASK IS KING

At Blackadder, they follow one simple philosophy: The Cask is King. Unlike commercial distilleries, they never chill-filter or add artificial coloring, allowing up to 70% of the whisky's flavor to develop naturally from the cask. Their signature "Raw Cask" series even contains tiny fragments of barrel char – visible proof of authenticity that whisky connoisseurs treasure.

BOTTLED STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE

Each Blackadder release comes from a single, carefully selected cask, creating expressions that are genuinely one-of-a-kind. From their acclaimed Raw Cask series to their innovative Black Snake "venoms" finished in sherry casks, every bottle represents a unique moment in whisky-making that will never be replicated.

DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE

What makes Blackadder special isn't just what they add – it's what they don't take away. The sediment floating in your glass isn't an imperfection; it's the signature of traditional craftsmanship. Each sip delivers the authentic character of whisky as it was meant to be enjoyed: unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically unique.

TASTE THE TUCEK FAMILY TRADITION

When you choose Blackadder, you're experiencing whisky selected by one of the most respected families in independent bottling. Robin, Hannah, and Michael personally taste each cask, bottling only when it achieves their exacting standards. The result? A dram that tells the true story of Scottish whisky-making tradition.

Hannah Tucek

Growing up in the business, Hannah keeps the Blackadder team organized. Her appreciation for whisky blossomed after tasting a 30-year-old Glen Ord.

RED SNAKE VS BLACK SNAKE: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE

WHISKY AS NATURE INTENDED

Family-owned since 1995, Blackadder represents whisky in its purest form. Founded by whisky expert Robin Tucek and now run alongside his children Hannah and Michael, this independent bottler delivers expressions that showcase the raw character of single cask Scotch whisky. Among their most distinctive offerings are two signature lines that demonstrate different approaches to exceptional whisky: Red Snake and Black Snake.

THE TALE OF TWO SNAKES

While both expressions embody Blackadder's commitment to unfiltered, uncompromised whisky, Red Snake and Black Snake represent distinctly different philosophies. Red Snake celebrates the individual character of single casks, while Black Snake showcases the art of careful blending through their innovative solera-style approach. Both lines deliver the authentic taste of whisky as it was meant to be enjoyed: bold, unfiltered, and unapologetically unique.

red snake: single cask supremecy

Red Snake represents the purest expression of individual cask character. Each release comes from one carefully selected first-fill ex-bourbon barrel, chosen only when the Tucek family determines it has reached peak maturity. Every Red Snake is numbered and represents a unique moment that will never be replicated. The result is a delightfully fruity, sweet single malt that showcases the marriage between exceptional distillate and premium American oak.

Black snake: the art of vatting

Black Snake takes a different approach, utilizing Blackadder's innovative solera-like system that combines multiple exceptional casks into harmonious blends. Enhanced with carefully selected sherry cask finishes, Black Snake expressions deliver complex layers of flavor that evolve with each sip. This method allows for consistent quality while maintaining the distinctive character that makes each release special.

the blackadder difference

What unites both Red Snake and Black Snake is Blackadder's unwavering commitment to traditional methods. Neither line uses chill-filtration or artificial coloring, allowing up to 70% of the whisky's flavor to develop naturally from the wood. Many releases feature the signature "Raw Cask" treatment, complete with barrel char and sediment – visible proof of the authentic, unmanipulated whisky within.

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE

Whether you prefer the singular character of Red Snake's single cask expressions or the complex harmony of Black Snake's expertly vatted blends, both lines deliver the uncompromising quality that has made Blackadder a favorite among whisky connoisseurs. Each bottle tells the true story of Scottish whisky-making tradition, selected by one of the most respected families in independent bottling.

Shizuoka:

The Truest Japanese Whisky

 
 

In a world awakening to the nuanced artistry of Japanese whisky, Shizuoka Distillery emerges as a beacon of authenticity and innovation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to its Japanese roots, Shizuoka offers a whisky experience that is both profoundly traditional and refreshingly unique. This is not just Japanese whisky; this is Shizuoka – a testament to the true spirit of Japanese craftsmanship, distilled entirely in Japan with distinctive production choices, creating whiskies that are unmistakably their own.

 
 

The Shizuoka Difference:

Authenticity Forged in Fire and Tradition

Shizuoka produces only genuine Japanese whisky — no imported spirit, no blending with foreign liquid. Every stage, from milling and mashing to maturation and bottling, happens on-site in the Shizuoka prefecture. The result: complete control over quality and authenticity.

 
 

A Tale of Two Stills

  • Pot Still W – A rare, direct wood-fired still fueled by local cedar and cypress, imparting a subtle smokiness and robust depth.

  • Pot Still K – A historic, steam-heated still salvaged from the legendary Karuizawa Distillery, producing spirits with refined elegance.

This dual approach allows Shizuoka to craft a wide range of flavor profiles with remarkable complexity.

The Taste of the Land

Shizuoka pioneers the use of 100% locally grown barley for select expressions, capturing the essence of its terroir. Additional malt varieties, including Scottish peated and unpeated barley, add breadth to their range. Fermentation takes place in traditional Shizuoka cedar washbacks, enhancing the spirit’s aromatic character.

Water from the Okushizu Highlands

All production uses soft, pure water from the Abe Nakagouchi River, which flows through the lush Okushizu region. This pristine water source is key to the clean, expressive nature of Shizuoka whisky.

 

Maturation with Character

A diverse cask program — from ex-bourbon to sherry — shapes each whisky’s depth and complexity, with a minimum of three years’ maturation in Japan’s varied climate.

 

Certified Authenticity

Shizuoka fully complies with the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association (JSLMA) regulations for “Japanese Whisky,” ensuring:

  • All ingredients sourced from Japan

  • Full production and maturation within Japan

  • Minimum three-year aging in wooden casks

  • Bottling in Japan at a minimum 40% ABV

This guarantees every bottle is a true product of Japan’s whisky heritage.

 

Hallmarks of Shizuoka

  • 100% Japanese, in-house production

  • Rare wood-fired still & historic Karuizawa still

  • Locally grown Shizuoka barley

  • Cedar washback fermentation

  • Pristine Abe Nakagouchi River water

  • Transparent, certified authenticity

 

In the Glass


Across expressions, expect:

  • Nose: Citrus, orchard fruit, malt sweetness, vanilla, cinnamon, with possible hints of honey, florals, or soft smoke.

  • Palate: Smooth, viscous texture with layers of caramel, fruit, spice, and malt richness — occasionally nutty or earthy with local barley, or subtly smoky when peated malt is used.

  • Finish: Medium to long, with lingering sweet, spicy, and oaky notes.

 

We invite you to explore individual bottling notes for specific expressions, as each tells its own unique Shizuoka story. The journey of discovery is part of the pleasure.
