Crafted from Indian barley grown at the foot of the Himalayas, Amrut Portonova reflects India's rich heritage. Mashed and distilled in small batches, Portonova matures in oak barrels in Bangalore's tropical climate. Offering notes of toffee sweetness, tropical spices, coconut, and cracked black pepper, it promises a rich and complex flavor profile.

Rakshit Jagdale, MD of Amrut Distilleries, shares his vision of offering unique experiences to whisky lovers. Limited to 300 bottles in Haryana, these whiskies are prized for their premium quality and versatility. Bagheera, priced at ₹23,000, and Portonova, approximately ₹15,000, are set to redefine whisky appreciation in India.

Jim Murray commends Amrut's commitment to quality and innovation, emphasizing their exceptional craftsmanship. He acknowledges the unparalleled dedication of the team, foreseeing immense potential in Bagheera and Portonova.
