Discover Jagdale family: Creators of India’s Amrut whisky.

A legacy brand created in Independent India by JN Radhakrishna Rao Jagdale is now one of the top-selling brands in the liquor industry.

After the demise of Radhakrishna, his son, Neelakanta Jagdale, built Amrut Distilleries and expanded it into the competitive market. 

Amrut Distilleries began producing alcoholic beverages in 1948, just as India became an independent country, with a small starting investment.

JN Radhakrishna Rao Jagdale, who is fondly called J.N.R established Amrut Distilleries Ltd. in 1948 in Bangalore, Karnataka.

At first, the business produced Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), primarily supplying it to the Karnataka and Kerala states’ canteen stores departments.

The main distillery as it stands today was constructed in 1987. It is situated in Kambipura on a 4-acre (1.6-hectare) site.

Amrut has stirred the whisky business in India and worldwide with its exceptional taste and unique blend and has successfully accumulated reserves that exceed Rs. 340 crore, while turnover has grown to Rs. 1800 crore a year as per their official website.
