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".

 
 

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

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.

 

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 its debut in Glasgow, Scotland, on August 24, 2004. Its 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.
