In a proud moment for Indian spirits, Amrut Distilleries has once again proven that world-class whisky isn’t just the domain of Scotland or Japan. At the 2025 edition of the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), Amrut made history by becoming the only Indian distillery to take home not one, not two, but three Double Golds and an additional Gold.
Yes, you read that right! Amrut bagged four top-tier accolades in one of the most competitive and distinguished global spirits contests.
Here’s a look at the award-winning lineup:
Amrut Fusion Single Malt – Double Gold
Amrut Indian Single Malt – Double Gold
Amrut Kurinji Indian Single Malt – Double Gold
Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt – Gold
At the heart of this triumph is Amrut Fusion, the crown jewel of India’s whisky story. With an international fanbase and an already overflowing trophy cabinet, Fusion has long been the brand’s ambassador to the world. It’s bold, complex, and has played a pivotal role in breaking the stereotype of what Indian whisky can be.
Then there’s Amrut Indian Single Malt, the backbone of the brand’s identity. It’s the expression that helped establish Amrut’s reputation globally, by making it accessible yet sophisticated, and rooted deeply in tradition.
The relatively newer Amrut Kurinji has quickly made its mark by portraying a different side of Indian whisky – one that’s unorthodox, adventurous, and expressive. It’s part of a new generation of spirits that aren’t afraid to take risks, much like the independent bottlers that inspired it.
Rounding off is the Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt, which offers a layered drinking experience. Think smoke, sea air, a touch of sweetness, and spice that lingers – a dram that speaks to those who appreciate nuance and boldness in equal measure.
Speaking about the win, Rakshit N Jagdale, Managing Director of Amrut Distilleries, said, “We are extremely pleased to receive this award from such a prestigious forum. It reaffirms that we are crafting spirits of truly world-class repute, and strengthens our resolve in the continued pursuit of delivering exceptional quality to our consumers.”
With these wins, Amrut has not only added another feather to its cap but also strengthened its position as a trailblazer in the Indian single malt space. For whisky lovers around the world, it’s yet another reason to raise a glass to innovation and craftsmanship.
