Amrut Peated Cask Strength crowned Best Indian Single Malt

Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt Cask Strength has been named Best Indian Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2025, a prestigious global competition that honors the finest whiskies across categories and regions. This latest accolade reinforces Amrut’s standing as a pioneer in Indian single malts, showcasing its mastery in cask-strength whisky production.

Crafted with hand-selected Scottish peated barley and matured in Bangalore’s dynamic climate, Amrut Peated Cask Strength delivers a bold, unfiltered experience straight from the cask. The whisky opens with aromas of gristy smoked barley, smoldering embers, and charred oak, beautifully intertwined with dark cocoa, honeyed citrus, and warming spices.

On the palate, an intense malty burst gives way to roasted nuts, dried fruits, and espresso, followed by drier oak notes that add depth and structure. The finish is a masterpiece of balance and elegance—subtle peat lingers with layers of Mysore medium roast coffee, soft liquorice, and molassed sugar, leaving a lasting impression.

Reflecting on this honor, Rakshit N Jagdale, Managing Director, Amrut Distilleries, shares, “This recognition is a proud moment for Amrut and for the Indian whisky market as a whole. Our Peated Cask Strength expression represents the bold, uncompromising spirit of Amrut- one that continues to push boundaries and redefine whisky excellence. Winning the title of Best Indian Single Malt Whisky is a testament to our legacy, our craftsmanship, and our commitment to delivering world-class whiskies.”
