India’s Amrut has launched Expedition, a 15 Years Old Single Malt whisky with only 75 bottles available, at a price tag of INR 1.05 million (USD12,500).
The launch is hailed a historic first for India’s whisky industry, as Expedition is said to be the oldest and most expensive Single Malt whisky ever released in India.
The whisky first spent eight years in a specially sourced Sherry cask from Europe, cultivating deep, opulent flavours, before transitioning to an ex-Bourbon cask from the USA for an additional seven years, further refining its complexity and depth.
With only 75 bottles ever crafted, this release has attracted attention of whisky collectors in India and possibly around the world.
The global launch of Amrut Expedition spanned key markets across India, USA, UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore and Australia.
Expedition’s high price tag of INR 1.05 million echoes a twist of destiny moment, as Indian distillers were once shunned to be a home of economical and unsophisticated offerings.
The launch of Amrut Expedition is a tribute to 75 years of Amrut’s pioneering journey, a voyage that has been nothing short of an expedition in itself.
At the heart of this legacy stands Neelkanth Rao Jagdale, Chairman and Managing Director of Amrut, fondly known as the Father of Indian Single Malt.
"This launch is just the beginning. We're constantly experimenting with new techniques and flavours, and we have several exciting projects in the pipeline. Our goal is to continue to raise the bar for Indian whisky and to put India on the map as a major player in the global spirits industry," he said.
His vision and commitment to putting India on the global Single Malt map have made this launch possible.
