Description
Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum exemplifies the rich heritage of Indian rum production. Distilled, aged, and bottled in Bangalore, India, this rum is made exclusively from 100% molasses derived from native Indian sugarcane. The maturation process involves aging in both ex-whisky barrels and new oak, a method that, combined with India’s intense climate, accelerates the interaction between rum and wood. This results in a bright copper-colored spirit with a complex flavor profile. Upon nosing, one detects sweet aromas reminiscent of pistachio brittle and spumoni ice cream. The palate is greeted with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body, revealing flavors of crystallized ginger, nutmeg, and bubblegum spice. The experience concludes with a long, accented finish that leaves a lasting impression. Recognized for its quality, Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum was awarded 91 points and the “Excellent, Highly Recommended” designation at the 2014 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. Its versatility makes it suitable for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as a flavorful base in tiki and other rum-based cocktails. As the 7th largest selling rum globally, it stands as a testament to Amrut’s dedication to excellence in spirits production.
