About Amrut
Amrut Distilleries Ltd is an Indian company that produces distilled beverages. It is best known for its eponymous Amrut brand of single malt whisky, which is the first single malt whisky to be made in India.[2] The brand became famous after world famous whisky connoisseur Jim Murray gave it a rating of 82 out of 100 in 2005 and 2010. In 2010, Murray named Amrut Fusion single malt whisky as the third best in the world.

About Blackadder
Blackadder is an independent bottler of single malt Scotch whisky. It was founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek and John Lamond, and named after historic Scottish figure Bishop John Blackadder. The company's bottlings are generally from single casks, are neither chill-filtered nor colored, and are bottled in clear glass to allow customers to see the natural color of the whisky.
Since 2000, Blackadder has also offered the "Raw Cask" series, which consists of whisky bottled directly from the cask, without even mechanical filtering. In 2014 Blackadder introduced a range of whiskies called Black Snake. These whiskies are produced using a Solera system, where aged single malts are placed into either an Oloroso or PX Sherry cask for further aging. When deemed ready, 2/3 of the cask is drawn to be bottled and the cask is replenished with more single malt for further maturation. Each draw for bottling is known as a "Venom".
Blackadder has been featured in Seven Fifty Daily and recognized as a gold winner by the Whiskies of the World Awards.
About Waterford
Waterford was started by Mark Reynier, of Bruichladdich fame. After having successfully resurrected Bruichladdich, it was purchased by Remy Cointreau. Mark, not one to sit idle, went in search of a new project.
Waterford is one of the true grain to bottle distilleries. Partnering with local Irish Barley producers, Waterford has already challenged the Whisky game in Ireland. Mark and his team have set out to challenge the common belief that Whisky does not have "terroir".
By providing full transparency, the end consumer will be able to obtain all details about how the Whisky came to be. View the full Waterford brochure here.
Waterford was featured in Forbes’ The Best Irish Whiskeys According To The International Wines & Spirits Competition article as well as in the LA Times.
