Finally all is revealed. Amrut today releases the oldest whisky it has ever bottled. This special bottling has been named Greedy Angels.
Bottles of Greedy Angels are going to be very rare because those angels have had a fine old time in the eight years that the two bourbon casks were matured in Bangalore. As Ashok Chokalingam, Amrut’s International Brand Ambassador explains: “Over those eight years – in the tropical conditions of our warehouse – we lost close to 274 litres of spirit from the two casks. In the end, we could only bottle 86 litres of whisky. No wonder we have named it Greedy Angels.”
Some very lucky people have tasted Greedy Angels but we didn’t tell them what it was – until now. We offered blind tastings of a “mystery malt” at the Whisky Exchange Whisky Show at Vinopolis in London last year. Surrinder Kumar, Amrut’s Master Distiller, was very excited by the enthusiastic response. So, if you were one of those giunea pigs, thank you for your patience and we hope you savoured the experience.
