Amrut’s release of the World’s first

Orange Single Malt Whisky comes to Canada. 

‘Naarangi’- is the latest offering from Amrut Distillery, located in Bangalore, India. The name “Naarangi” derived from Hindi- means “orange.” It is the only single malt whisky in the world to have orange expression. It is now available in Canada in limited quantity.

To make this whisky in adherence with EU guidelines, Amrut procured Olorosso Sherry from Spain and matured wine along with orange peel in it for three years. The oranges for this were sourced from the tourist haven, Madikeri located in the picturesque Western Ghats of India. The wine and orange peel concoction was let to mature for 3 years in Bangalore, lending the barrel a unique orange essence. The wine and peels were then spilled and the barrels were filled with 3 year old matured single malt whisky and allowed to mature for 3 more years. In this period the barrels have lent the orange characteristics to the whisky creating pioneering single malt.

“The whisky is not dominated by the Orange but remarkably balanced out. The finish is of subtle orange notes while in the middle ground you can find the traditional Amrut signature.” – Ashok Chokalingam, GM -­‐ International Markets, Amrut.

Available at selected liquor stores in BC and AB.
