India's pioneering Amrut Distilleries is bringing back its Jaggery rum, which saw its debut on the world stage a year ago when Italian bottler Velier had introduced the global rum community to its first taste of a rum made with India's local cane sugar.
The new Amrut Bella Rum is a single Jaggery rum, distilled from handmade Jaggery sourced from Mandya, said to be renowned as India's "Sugar City", located near Amrut's Bengaluru, Karnataka, distillation site. This expression was produced by simmering sugarcane juice (without additives) and then put through distilling in pot stills, before maturation in ex-Bourbon barrels.
