Amrut’s Single Malt emerges winner at Whiskies of the World

Amrut Distilleries, the pride of Bangalore, has once again stolen the spotlight on the global whisky stage. At the recent Whiskies of the World Competition held in the USA, Amrut’s Triparva Single Malt whisky was awarded the top honour of “Best in Class” alongside a gold medal, while the ever-celebrated Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky secured a double gold. Competing against renowned distillers from across the globe, Amrut’s triumphs were judged by a panel of experts, including the likes of Josh Gelfand and Ted Sloniker, among over 100 other distinguished jury members.

The art of triple distillation, once a hallmark of Irish distilleries, has now been masterfully executed by Amrut in their creation of Triparva. This recognition not only cements Amrut’s reputation as a leader in whisky craftsmanship but also demonstrates that they are more than capable of challenging, and indeed surpassing, their Western counterparts in every regard. The meticulous distillation techniques that Amrut employs have clearly paid off, earning them this prestigious accolade.

Amrut Fusion, already celebrated for bringing Indian Single Malt into the global whisky arena, continues its winning streak with a “Double Gold” title. This accolade adds yet another feather to its already impressive cap. Additionally, Amrut Rye Single Malt Whisky and Amrut Peated Cask Strength whisky also walked away with gold medals, further solidifying the distillery’s position as a global heavyweight in the whisky world.

These latest victories add to Amrut’s growing list of accolades, including a record five gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge and the title of Best Distillery of the Year at the Tokyo Spirits Competition. With these wins at Whiskies of the World, Amrut’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

Mr. Rakshit N Jagdale, Managing Director of Amrut Distilleries, expressed his delight at the recognition of Triparva, a triple distilled single malt whisky, noting that this award will inspire the distillery to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of single malts. The year 2024 has indeed been a remarkable one for Amrut, with their diverse range of malts gaining recognition and accolades across the globe.

Amrut Distilleries, founded in 1948 by the late Mr. Radhakrishna Jagdale, has grown into one of Karnataka’s leading industrial firms. With a workforce of 1,300 employees, Amrut has achieved significant financial success, but it was the global recognition of Amrut Fusion in 2009 that truly put Indian whisky on the international map. Amrut’s distinctive approach, utilizing Indian barley and the unique climatic conditions of the country to accelerate the maturation process in oak barrels, has earned them a place among the world’s most esteemed whisky producers. The rigorous judging process of the International Spirits Challenge and the subsequent accolades underscore the distillery’s mastery in whisky production, further enhancing its esteemed status on the global stage.
