Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum, India

Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum is distilled, aged, and bottled at Amrut’s facility in Bangalore, India using 100% Indian cane sugar. During maturation in a combination of ex-whisky and new oak barrels, the incredibly intense Indian sun causes the rum and oak to mingle often. In addition, the heat also leads to much greater rates of evaporation (approximately 12 percent of maturing whisky evaporates each year in India, compared to just two percent in Scotland). As a result, Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum has a bright copper color and aromas of pistachios, peanut brittle and vanilla ice cream. The palate is dry and slightly fruity, with additional notes of tobacco and butterscotch. The rum’s long finish is accented with ginger, nutmeg and caramel. Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum was awarded 91 points and the “Excellent, Highly Recommended” designation at the 2014 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. Pick up a bottle today!
