UNPEATED SINGLE MALT. Amrut's newest release under the umbrella brand - 'Single Malts of India' to showcase some of the hidden gem malts of India.
Kurinji is a single malt eponymously sourced from the hills and exhibits traits that uniquely spring from the locale. Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC – 300 AD), classify mother earth into five regions called Tinais, each associated with its distinct literary style, grammar, culture, and even cuisine. Sangam literature has documented the “Kurinji” in its Agam or love poetry. The inspiration behind our next expression is the exuberant Kurinji flowers, nestled in the hills of South India. This flower blooms once every 12 years (a phenomenon known as Plietesials), filling the lush greenery of the mountains with a purple shade as far as the eyes can see! As the water flows down the hill and so do the stories with it, every bottle of Amrut’s Kurinji encompasses the floral flavor of the purple-shaded mountains that it originates from.

MATURED IN EX-BOURBON, OLOROSO SHERRY, EX-BOURBON
Time-tested tradition, spiced with a dash of innovation, this is the process we followed in making AMRUT INTERMEDIATE SHERRY CASK SINGLE MALT. Newly made spirit, matured in the traditional way in Virgin / Ex-Bourbon Casks and is transferred into Spanish Ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts wherein it matures for a year more, gaining an added sherry finish. The finishing touch is thus lent by a further period of maturation in ex-bourbon casks. Result: an essay in elegance with subdued sherry notes that bears the tell-tale Amrut Signature of quality and innovation. A worthy successor to the much-acclaimed Amrut Fusion and Amrut Double Cask.

AGED IN EX-BOURBON, PORT PIPES AND FINISHED IN EX-BOURBON
Amrut Portonova is an un-peated single malt whisky matured initially in a combination of new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels then transferred to once-used port pipes, imported from Portugal and finally back to ex-bourbon casks. It is aptly names as Portonova as there is a town called Parangipettai (Portonovo) on the east coast of India, in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, a territory that was under Portuguese control from the 16th to the 18th century.

Peated Indian Single Malt Whisky. Procured from another distillery and polished at Amrut, Neidhal “is the first independent bottling in India,” says Amrut’s head distiller Ashok Chokalingam.
Amrut has now conceived and launched a new umbrella brand - ‘Single Malts of India’ to showcase some of the hidden gem malts of India. The first chapter of this release, titled the Neidhal will be a limited release of 12,000 bottles across the world.
Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC – 300 AD), classify mother earth into five regions called Tinais, each being associated with its own distinct literary style, grammar, mood, subtle as well as overt form of romance, culture and even cuisine. “Neidhal”, according to this classification comprises all Oceans and neighboring regions or in short Coastal Plains and the way of living one associates with them.
Neidhal is a single malt eponymously sourced from a Neidhal or coastal region and exhibits traits that uniquely spring from the locale - notes of tropical fruits, vanilla punctuated by soft phenols and above all sea salt on the nose. On the palate, it is fruit cocktail and mesmerising phenols with a touch of iodine. The middle ground is an essay in chewability and a finish that is phenolic with a touch of sweet vanilla.
The core range of Indian Single Malt Whiskies includes Single Malt 46%, Cask Strength, Peated and Peated Cask Strength, whiskies to be enjoyed often.

An incredible combination of 75% Cask Strength Single Malt and 25% Cask Strength Peated Single Malt, are further aged to create this multi-award winning whisky.
"One of the great whiskies found anywhere in the world" - Jim Murray - The combination of the two single malt whiskies is then further aged in ex-bourbon barrels for 6 to 9 months. The barley used in the peated malt is malted at Bairds Malt, Inverness Scotland. The intensity of the peated barley is mellowed on its journey to India. It is further mellowed when combined with the single malt, leaving a flavor that is more spicy than peaty, which is why it has won so many fans world-wide.
Amrut Fusion has won over 10 significant awards. Its first major recognition came in 2010 when it was named 3rd best Whisky in the World by the Whisky Bible and rated at 97.5 points. Besting nearly every Whisky on the earth that year put both Fusion and Amrut Distilleries on the whisky map.

India’s first ever foray into Triple Distilled Single Malts
TRIPARVA is a triple distilled limited edition single malt whisky with a total bottling of 5400 bottles worldwide. Of the global allocation, 600 bottles are allocated for the USA market to meet the demands of Indian whisky connoisseurs and collectors. This is the first time triple distilled single malt whisky has been produced in India, and perhaps even Asia.
Quote from Ashok Chokalingam, Head Distiller, Amrut:
“Amrut has pretty much produced a range of uncompromisingly innovative single malt whiskies such as the Amrut Spectrum (multiple oak wood barrel single malt), Naarangi (a single malt with orange influence) , Rye Single Malt to name a few. This latest addition of Triparva, triple distilled single malt, kind of completes the course. I think, for any distillery to come and do what Amrut has done in India will take a long time and the depth and variety of what Amrut has is unmatched. We are proud of what we have done so far and cemented our position as the ‘pioneers’ of single malt making in India.”

'KADHAMBAM' is a Tamil word meaning 'combination' or 'mixture'. True to its name, AMRUT KADHAMBAM is a novel Single Malt that combines in itself Rum, Sherry and Brandy notes.
Regular Single Malt is further matured for further periods in casks that we previously used to mature Rum (Ex-Amrut Rum Cask), Sherry and Brandy (Ex-Amrut Brandy Cask). Subsequently, they are married together on a specific, proprietary ratio, to achieve the right balance, in refill bourbon casks. In this process the malt successively gains the aroma and the notes of Rum, Sherry and Brandy. The result is a truly gratifying mix of notes. As a succession of subtle and complex notes unravel, AMRUT KADHAMBAM is sure to exhilarate your nose and palate with a first-of-its-kind experience.

A DRAM HUNTER SELECTION USA EXCLUSIVE Bottled October 2022.
This whisky is from a Vatting of casks of Single Malt Whisky. It has been finished in an Oloroso Sherry Butt - bottled without chill-filtration and there is no added color.
Black snake starts its life in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. We then put three of them into new Oloroso or PX Butts and leave them for about a year for further maturation before bottling two-thirds of each cask. We call these casks 'Vats' as they are a kind of mini Solera.
After each bottling, we add two more ex-Bourbon casks, always of the same whisky, and leave for around a year before again bottling two-thirds of the Vat. All future bottlings from each vatting of Black Snake will therefore contain some spirit that was in the previous expressions from the Butt. From time to time the Butt is renewed.
Each time we bottle we call it Venom, as in the poison from a snake's bite. The first bottling from each Vat is called First Venom, and the second bottling is called Second Venom, and so on.

INVERGORDON SINGLE GRAIN, 34 YEARS OLD, STATEMENT EDITION
Blackaddder INVERGORDON Statement, Edition #46, is a very rare 34 year old single grain scotch whisky. There are only 269 bottles worldwide. Invergordon is a grain distillery situated north of Inverness on the Cormarty Firth. The absolutely massive distillery produces upwards of 40 million liters of pure alcohol per year thanks to their massive column still.
Their production of grain whisky is exclusively destined for the blends, but a few odd casks make it out of the blender’s repertoire and are bottled by Independents. Like so many things in whisky, with time comes greatness and these Invergordons are proof that grain has many facets.
The casks we reserve for Blackadder Statement are selected first and foremost for their excellent quality. A truly noble cask of single malt whisky is not just a matter of age and maturity. These qualities play their part, but so does the art of good cask management, combined with regular nosing and appraisal of the spirit. As they say, age is just a number!
We never chill or otherwise heavily filter our whiskies, nor is colour ever added to them. This is how we always bottled our whiskies and is how we always will. This is our promise to you -our Blackadder Statement.In the 30 year plus category we offer exceptionally aged and incredibly rare Scotch Whiskies based on the RAW CASK philosophy. The Cask is King! Bottled from single casks, no chilling, no heavy filtering and never, ever any caramel coloring or flavoring added. Never! And many have been lucky enough to discover barrel char in their bottles!
This rare single grain scotch whisky, from Invergordon Distillery, was drawn at cask strength from a single Hogshead cask. It was distilled in February 1988 and bottled in February 2022, in Scotland.
