Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum
Amrut Old Port Deluxe Rum is the original dark rum from Amrut Distilleries of Bengaluru, India — the house that later put Indian single malt on the world map. Old Port came first: the distillery has made this molasses rum since its early days, and it remains one of India's longest-running and best-loved rums.
- Producer: Amrut Distilleries Pvt. Ltd. (N.R. Jagdale Group), Kambipura, Bengaluru, India — founded 1948
- Style: Dark molasses rum, distilled from 100% Indian cane molasses
- Maturation: Aged in a mix of ex-whisky barrels and new oak casks in Bengaluru's tropical heat, where the angel's share runs far higher than in Scotland and a few years of aging do the work of a decade
- ABV: 42.8% (85.6 proof)
- Size: 750mL
Tasting Notes
Sweet vanilla, pistachio brittle and warm spice on the nose. The palate is silky and dry-yet-fruity, medium-to-full in body, with honey, butterscotch and a lift of orange peel over vanilla, tobacco and dark dried fruit — finishing long with crystallized ginger, nutmeg and a gentle spiced sweetness. The Beverage Testing Institute scored it 90 points, and it took 91 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
About Amrut
Amrut Distilleries was founded in Bengaluru in 1948 by Radhakrishna N. Jagdale. Long before its single malts earned international acclaim, the distillery built its name on rums like Old Port — distilled, matured and bottled entirely at its Kambipura facility. If you are exploring the house, its other rum is the Amrut Two Indies Rum, a blend of Indian and Caribbean rums, and its whisky side starts with pours like the Amrut Kranthi Indian Single Malt Whisky.
How to Enjoy
Old Port is smooth enough to sip neat or over a single large cube, and it is the classic Indian serve with cola and a wedge of lime. It also brings real depth to a Dark 'n' Stormy, a rum Old Fashioned, or a planter's punch. Browse the full shelf in our rum collection for more dark and aged rums.
