Amrut Distilleries has won many awards.
In 2011, Amrut Fusion was named Grand Master of World Whisky at The Spirits Business Awards in London in December. Already named one of seven Masters of World Whisky by the judging panel of the prestigious event, Amrut Fusion came out as the best of the best in the final stage of the competition.
Amrut Distilleries was named a Distiller of the Year in the Icons of Whisky 2011
In The Whisky Bible 2010, leading whisky expert, Jim Murray awarded Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky the title of World's Third Best Whisky. Murray said Fusion has to be one of the great whiskies found anywhere in the world this year. Admitting his No 3 choice could come as a surprise to some people, he said: The fact that it is Indian? Irrelevant, from distillation to maturation this is a genius whisky from whichever continent.
