Amrut
India's pioneering single malt distillery, producing whisky since 1948 but releasing single malt internationally from 2004. Jim Murray scored Amrut Fusion 97 points, calling it a revelation. Tropical Bangalore climate causes 12-16% angel's share annually (vs 2% in Scotland). Produces Fusion (peated + unpeated), Peated, Intermediate Sherry, and Naarangi (orange peel) expressions.
The Amrut house style
Across 14 expressions, the house leans sweet, spice and dark fruit. Smoke spans the whole map — from unpeated to heavily peated.
