India’s homegrown whisky scene has reached new heights with the launch of Amrut Expedition, the country’s oldest and priciest single malt. As Amrut Distilleries celebrates 75 years of excellence, this limited-edition whisky isn’t just another premium bottle—it’s a milestone in the art of whisky-making.
What makes Expedition truly exceptional? It’s the only Indian whisky aged for 15 years—spending its first eight years in a carefully selected Sherry cask from Europe and the next seven in an ex-Bourbon cask from the U.S. This dual maturation process gives Expedition its deep, layered flavors.
A Whisky Like No Other
At 62.8% ABV, Expedition offers a bold yet refined tasting experience. From the first sip, expect rich sherried truffle, sweet cane molasses, and hints of sandalwood and oak. The flavors unfold beautifully—starting with chocolatey sherry notes, transitioning into a smooth silkiness, and culminating in a sudden burst of cracked black pepper. The finish lingers with dried fruits, vanilla, and bitter cocoa, leaving an unforgettable impression.
Packaging Fit for Royalty
A whisky this exclusive deserves an equally luxurious presentation. The bottle comes in a handcrafted metal and wood box, each uniquely engraved and numbered—making every unit a collector’s dream. The diamond-cut bottle design is adorned with intricate gold engravings, and a silver peg measure, crafted by a Bangalore silversmith, adds a regal touch. Each case also includes an NFC tag and authentication card, revealing the story behind Expedition.
Own a Piece of Whisky History—If You Can
With only 75 bottles available worldwide, Expedition is as rare as it gets. Priced at over ₹10 lakh, this ultra-premium whisky will be available in select markets, including India, the USA, the UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia.
A Tribute to Amrut’s Legacy
Speaking on the launch, Rakshit N Jagdale, MD of Amrut Distilleries, shared his pride in this historic moment:
“Amrut Expedition is not just a whisky—it’s a celebration of our 75-year journey and a tribute to my grandfather, JN Radha Krishna Rao Jagdale. Aged for 15 years in two exceptional casks, every drop tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship. This launch also honors my father, Late Neelkanth Rao Jagdale, whose vision put India on the global whisky map. Expedition is history in a bottle.”
For whisky connoisseurs and collectors, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a masterpiece. Will you be one of the lucky few?
