Amrut unveils Expedition, oldest single malt whiskey aged for 15 years

Alcobev major Amrut Distilleries has launched Expedition, its oldest single malt whisky, aged for 15 years. This ultra-rare release is limited to just 75 bottles globally. Amrut believes that Expedition will elevate the entire luxury category, demonstrating the brand’s ability to craft exceptional malts beyond its regular range.

 

Expedition matured for eight years in a specially sourced European Sherry cask, developing deep, opulent flavours, before spending an additional seven years in an ex-Bourbon cask from the United States, further enhancing its complexity and depth.

 

Amrut’s Expedition packaging exudes the grandeur of a royal heirloom. The merging of metal and wood took six months. Each handcrafted box houses an individually engraved and numbered bottle, featuring a diamond-cut design with intricate gold engravings. A regal silver peg measure, crafted by a Bangalore silversmith, has been embedded with a near-field communication (NFC) tag and authentication card.

 

The global launch of Amrut Expedition extends across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia. Priced at over $10,000, Expedition is a premium addition to the brand’s portfolio. The variant has about 62.8 per cent alcohol by volume (abv).

 

Rakshit N Jagdale, managing director, Amrut Distilleries, said, “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 my grandfather, JN RadhaKrishna Rao Jagdale. Aged for 15 years across two exceptional casks, every drop tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship. With only 75 bottles available worldwide, it is a true collector’s piece crafted to near perfection. Expedition is not just a whisky—it is history in a bottle."
