Amrut unveils CaféX, India's First Coffee-Cask Finishes Single Malt Expression

Bengaluru, India – Amrut Distilleries proudly unveils CaféX, a bold new Indian Single Malt
that brings together world-class whisky making and exceptional coffee cultivation. Matured in casks seasoned with the finest coffee beans from the historic Harley Estate, which was established in 1864 in Sakaleshpur, CaféX is a tribute to the rich heritage of the Western Ghats and Amrut's relentless spirit of innovation. For centuries, whisky maturation has revolved around oak, wine, sherry, port and spirit casks. CaféX dares to ask a different question: what if one of the world's finest coffee-growing regions
​
Inspired by the pristine landscapes of the Western Ghats, CaféX is presented in a striking white
and emerald-green pack that reflects the purity of its origins and the boldness of its innovation.
Limited to just 2,400 bottles worldwide, CaféX is yet another milestone in Amrut's journey of
redefining Indian single malt and reinforcing its position as one of the world's most innovative whisky makers.
​
Mr Purnesh, owner of Harley Estate said "At Harley Estate, we explore how time, wood,
and provenance shape flavor. Partnering with Amrut gave us access to their award-winning
whisky barrels — casks of incredible depth that don’t just impart oak and spice, but layers of
vanilla, fruit, and that signature Amrut warmth. Ageing our estate-grown specialty coffee in them
bridges two worlds of Indian craft, creating a bold, complex cup unlike anything we’ve processed before — the soul of Indian whisky meets Harley Estate specialty coffee, to give us
our most coveted whisky barrel-aged coffee."

Speaking on the rarity and exclusivity of the release Mr Ashok Chokalingam, COO and Master
Distiller comments “This is a landmark bottling. To encounter a distinct jalapeño and capsicum
profile within a single malt is an extreme rarity. The ability of the spirit to integrate these savory,
vegetal notes with the richness of mocha and vanilla cream—all while maintaining such
poise—marks this as an expression, destined for the most discerning collections.”
