Buy Amrut Peated Single Malt Whisky Online

Buy Amrut Peated Single Malt Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. We make Amrut Peated Single Malt Whisky from Indian barley grown at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains in Punjab, a region known as “the land of five rivers.” We also use peated malt sourced from Scotland. The Himalayan mountain water, along with the cold winters and fiery summers, results in a unique type of barley that is rich in nutrients and flavor. After local Indian farmers harvest the barley, we carefully mash and distill it in small batches to preserve the natural aroma of the Indian terroir. We then age the whisky at an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level in oak barrels that rest for a minimum of 4 years.

During maturation, the incredibly intense Indian sun causes the whisky and oak to mingle often. In addition, the heat in India leads to much greater rates of evaporation—approximately 12% of maturing whisky evaporates each year (known as the angel’s share), compared to just 2% in Scotland. As a result of the intense temperatures and humidity, whisky ages nearly three times faster in India as compared to Scotland.
