Amrut Legacy
OUR STORY
The history of Amrut Distilleries is as old as the history of independent India itself. After six decades of notable progress, just like India, Amrut Distilleries has grown both in stature and size and is now noted as a global economic leader.
Amrut Distilleries Private Limited began in 1948 under the name and style of Amrut Laboratories, with an initial investment of barely a few lakhs. The founder was the late Shri J.N. Radhakrishna, J.N.R as he is fondly called to this day.

Under the leadership of the founder, Amrut Distilleries made rapid strides to entrench itself as a significant and preferred supplier of Indian Made Liquor (IML) in the Defense Market. In its state of origin, Karnataka, too, Amrut Distilleries grew to be one of the dominant suppliers, especially in the old Mysore area.

Our Process
Meticulously developed with clarity and integrity, we find satisfaction in each phase of the production process.
Preparation
Whisky is typically made from grains, and the choice of grains influences the flavor profile of the final product
Mashing
The milled grains are mixed with hot water and this allows the enzymes in the grains to break down starches into fermentable sugars.
Fermentation
Yeast is added to the mash to initiate fermentation and it consumes the sugars in the mash and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Distillation
The distillation process separates the alcohol from the wash, producing a higher-proof liquid known as new make spirit
Maturation
The aging process allows the whisky to interact with the wood, gaining flavor, color, and complexity.
Bottling
The final product is then bottled at the desired alcohol content, and in some cases, multiple casks may be blended to achieve the desired flavor profile.
OUR MASTER CRAFTSMAN
Shri Neelakanta Rao Jagdale After the untimely demise of J.N.R in 1976, the mantle devolved to his son, Shri Neelakanta Rao Jagdale, the Chairman and Managing Director. Building on the solid foundations laid by his late father, his stewardship has seen Amrut Distilleries blossom into a multi-national brand respected as much for the superlative quality of its products as for his campaign for transparent practices by the IML industry.
