Amrut unveils limited edition The Expedition to celebrate 75 Years

Bengaluru witnessed a historic evening in India's alcobev journey as Amrut Distilleries unveiled India’s longest matured single malt, The Expedition, at a grand launch event at ITC Gardenia. Aged for 15 years in PX Sherry Butt and Ex-Bourbon Reserve cask, this exclusive edition is Amrut’s most ambitious release yet, marking the company’s 75th anniversary in style.

Only 75 bottles of The Expedition have been produced, making it a true collector’s delight. Of these, a mere nine bottles are allocated for travel retail in India. With a price tag of approximately ₹10.5 lakh per bottle, this rare release cements Amrut’s legacy in the world of fine whiskies.

The launch event drew whisky connoisseurs, Amrut loyalists, and patrons from across India and the globe. The evening was not just a celebration of a milestone but also a tribute to the visionary leadership of Neelkanta Rao Jagdale (NRJ), Amrut’s former Chairman and Managing Director, fondly known as the ‘Father of Indian Single Malt.’ NRJ’s dedication to Indian heritage and craftsmanship has paved the way for exceptional expressions in single malts and blends.

Taking centrestage, Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing Director of Amrut Distilleries, addressed the audience with palpable excitement. “Today, we stand at the threshold of history. It’s my distinct privilege as well as an honour to introduce to you something very rare, very unique—Amrut The Expedition. This is indeed the oldest ever Indian single malt whisky to be bottled.”

He continued, “Matured for 15 long years right here in Bengaluru, the Garden City of India, in our tropical climatic conditions, this isn’t just another bottle of whisky. This is the culmination of years of passion, expertise, and dedication.”

Emphasising the company’s values, he added, “At the core of everything we do are the principles of quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation. Our dedicated team has worked tirelessly to develop a product that we believe will redefine the Indian spirits category. The Expedition represents the pinnacle of our commitment, and we are privileged to share this moment with our esteemed guests, valued partners, and loyal customers.”

The global launch of Amrut Expedition is a momentous occasion, spanning key markets across India, the USA, the UK, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia.
