MUMBAI: This one is for those enjoy their single malts. Amrut Distilleries has introduced Kadhambam, a premium whisky exclusively at GMR Hyderabad Duty Free stores in Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

The whisky, bottled at 50 per cent ABV, is unique for being aged in four different casks - ex-bourbon, rum, ex-Oloroso sherry and brandy. The name "Kadhambam" means "mixture" in Tamil, reflecting its complex ageing process.

"Kadhambam exemplifies our craft and innovation," said Amrut Distilleries managing director Rakshit N Jagdale. "This launch reflects our ambition to expand Amrut's presence in travel retail."

 Monika Alcobev - Amrut's distribution partner - managing director and chief executive Kunal Patel, noted the growing global recognition of Indian whiskies. "Kadhambam's distinct blend is the perfect addition to GMR Hyderabad Duty Free's exclusive offerings," he said.

Amrut defines the Kadhambam whisky as follows:

Nose : Rich and floral, honeyed, nutty, new oak, vanilla, lifted fruit aromas of citrus and tropical fruits

Taste : Candied fruits, subtle oak with a light dusting of peat and integrated spice

Finish : Warming and complex with a dry, long finish

A bottle of 700 ml of the bourbon is available at Rs 13,000 on the online Hyderabad Airport store.
