As an incentive for the first 50 members who purchase the Amrut/SCWC single cask bottle, we have a very special tasting on Wednesday, November 17 @ 6:00 PST. In this Zoom tasting, we will discuss the process of the selection and what makes this single cask so unique. This will be a fun night to explore our very own Amrut single cask along with four special samples with our good friend Raj Sabharwal as a thank you for supporting this endeavor.

about the distillery:

Amrut (अमृत) is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as "Elixir of Life". Amrut single malt whisky is the first single malt whisky to be made in India. The whisky is made from select Indian malted barley grown in Punjab and Rajasthan, the northwest frontier states of India. The cold winters and fiery summers create a unique quality of grain and barrel maturation. Malting takes place at maltsters in Jaipur and Delhi according to the standards laid down by ADL. The malted barley is then transported to the south of India where it is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches. The whisky undergoes maturation in imported oak barrels for over three years in a unique tropical condition in Bangalore. This unique natural geographical location allows intense maturation by losing a considerable amount of whisky as the “angel's share.” To maintain the natural character of the product, the whisky is not chill-filtered. The company decided against using computers and automation in their distillery in favour of providing more jobs to people. [website] 

 

note:

The club will ship the bonus samples out directly to those who purchase the Southern California Whiskey Club bottle and we will coordinate with K&L with verifying the emails for the first 50 that purchase no later than November 14, 2021.
