IMFL manufacturer Amrut has launched a limited-edition whiskey Amrut Expedition, which it claims is the oldest single malt produced in the country.
This expression has undergone a 15-year maturation period, after spending the first eight years in a Sherry cask sourced from Europe, before transitioning to an ex-Bourbon cask from the United States for an additional seven years.

Rakshit N Jagdale, the MD of Amrut Distilleries commented, “Amrut Expedition is more than just a whisky—it is a celebration of our 75-year journey, a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence started by grandfather, JN Radha Krishna Rao Jagdale. Aged for 15 years across two exceptional casks, every drop tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship. This launch is also a tribute to my father, 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 is not just a whisky—it is history in a bottle.”
