KURINJI Single Malts of India

After the first chapter "Neidhal" of its adventure as independent bottler "Single Malt of India", Amrut distillery launches this year the single malt Kurinji. Under this umbrella brand, Amrut aims to reinforce its position as a pioneer of Indian whisky by showcasing the hidden treasures of this country. While the first edition was limited to 12,000 bottles worldwide, 16,000 bottles of Kurinji are available for the pleasure of whisky lovers! Ancient Tamil texts, dating back to the Sangam period (300 BC), classify the motherland into five regions called Tinais, each with a distinct literary style, grammar, culture and even cuisine. This expression is inspired by the Kurinji flowers which paint the green mountains with purple when blossoming; only once every 12 years. Kurinji Single Malt coincides with this timeless occasion, incorporating the floral flavours as well as fruity aromas in the palate and a remarkable finish with sweet and floral notes. “We as a team are incredibly proud of this release and surely a very different single malt whisky with floral traits will entice consumers around the world for a wow! experience” – Ashok Chokalingam – Head Distiller.
