Description
Amrut Single Malk Whisky, Greedy Angels, Chairman's Reserve 12 years old 70cl. At the time of its release in 2017, this is the oldest-ever whisky to come from India. Released to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Amrut's European importer, this is rich and incredibly complex with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, mango and mixed spice. Amrut is a brand of Indian single malt whisky, manufactured by Amrut Distilleries.
It is the second single malt whisky to be made in India (the first being Solan No). Amrut (अमृत) or amrita is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as "nectar of the gods", "nectar of life" or "drink of the gods". The company translates it as "Elixir of Life". The brand became famous after whisky connoisseur Jim Murray gave it a rating of 82 out of 100 in 2005 and 2010. In 2010 Murray named Amrut Fusion single malt whisky as the third best in the world. John Hansell, editor of American magazine Whisky Advocate, wrote that "India's Amrut distillery changed the way many think of Indian whisky – that it was, in the past, just cheap Scotch whisky blended with who knows what and sold as Indian whisky. Amrut is making whisky, and it's very good".
Amrut launched their whisky on 24 August 2004 in Glasgow.
