India’s luxury spirits landscape reached a defining
milestone with the launch of Amrut Expedition, the
country’s oldest and most expensive single malt
whisky, unveiled exclusively through Monika
Alcobev Limited at Bangalore Duty Free.
As the preferred travel retail partner, Monika
Alcobev has once again reinforced its leadership in
shaping India’s premium alco-bev narrative. With a
price tag of over USD 12,500 and a strictly limited
release of just 75 bottles worldwide, Amrut
Expedition represents a bold statement of Indian
craftsmanship on the global stage. Only nine
bottles are available in India, with a milestone three
allocated
to
Bengaluru’s Kempegowda
International Airport (BLR Airport).

Crafted over 15 years, the whisky matured first in
European sherry casks for eight years, followed by
seven years in American ex-bourbon casks,
resulting in a liquid of rare depth and elegance.
Each collector’s edition is encased in a
handcrafted wood-and-metal box, complete with
a silver peg measure, authentication card, and
NFC chip, underscoring exclusivity and
authenticity.
“Launching Expedition via travel retail with
Monika Alcobev ensures it reaches discerning
global consumers who value heritage and
authenticity,” noted Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing
Director, Amrut Distilleries.
For Kunal Patel, Managing Director of Monika
Alcobev, the partnership reflects a broader vision:
“Expedition is a truly rare release, one that
showcases the finest in Indian whisky-making. At
Monika Alcobev, we take pride in driving
innovation and setting new benchmarks in the
distribution of premium spirits.”
Amrut Expedition marks a milestone in India’s
alco-bev journey, and with Monika Alcobev
leading its travel retail debut, Indian whisky enters
a bold new era.
