Indian whiskies are gaining global recognition, and many whiskey lovers in India are choosing homegrown brands. Since 1950, Amrut Distilleries has been transforming the way India enjoys whiskey. Now, they have introduced the country’s oldest and most expensive whiskey. Their latest release, Amrut Expedition, celebrates 75 years of excellence—offering much more than just another drink.
What makes Amrut Expedition special? It’s India’s only whiskey aged for 15 years! The first eight years are spent in a Sherry cask from Europe, followed by seven years in an ex-Bourbon cask from the U.S. This unique aging process gives Expedition its rich, deep flavor, making it one of the most complex and refined Indian whiskies ever crafted.
With a bold 62.8% ABV, Amrut Expedition offers an unforgettable tasting experience. From the very first sip, you’ll notice rich chocolatey sherry notes, followed by flavors of sherried truffle, sweet cane molasses, sandalwood, and oak. The whiskey then takes on a smooth, silky texture before surprising you with a burst of cracked black pepper. The finish is long and refreshing, with hints of dried fruits, vanilla, and bitter cocoa, making it a true delight for whiskey lovers.
If the tasting notes impressed you, wait until you see the luxurious packaging of Amrut Expedition. The box is a stunning blend of metal and wood, meticulously crafted over six months and five prototypes. Each piece is handcrafted, individually painted, engraved, and numbered, making every unit a one-of-a-kind collector’s item.
The diamond-cut bottle features intricate gold engravings, adding to its regal appeal. To enhance its exclusivity, every bottle comes with a handcrafted silver peg measure, designed by a skilled Bangalore silversmith. Plus, each case includes an NFC tag and an authentication card, allowing you to explore the unique story behind this remarkable whiskey.
Want to add this exclusive masterpiece to your home bar? You can—if you’re lucky! Priced at over ₹10 lakh, Amrut Expedition is a collector’s dream. But there’s a catch—only 75 bottles exist worldwide!
This limited-edition whiskey is available in select markets across India, the USA, the UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia. More than just a luxury spirit, Expedition is a tribute to Amrut’s pioneering journey in the world of fine whiskey.
Talking about this historic release, Rakshit N Jagdale, MD of Amrut Distilleries, shared:
“Amrut Expedition is more than just a whisky—it’s a celebration of our 75-year journey and our unwavering pursuit of excellence, started by my grandfather, JN Radha Krishna Rao Jagdale. Aged for 15 years in two exceptional casks, every drop reflects our rich heritage and craftsmanship. This launch is also a tribute to my father, the Late Neelkanth Rao Jagdale, whose vision and pioneering spirit put India on the global whisky map. Seeing Amrut reach this milestone is an emotional and proud moment for us. Expedition isn’t just a whisky—it’s history in a bottle.”
This limited-edition release is a testament to Amrut’s legacy, blending tradition with innovation to create a truly iconic whisky.
