Blended with the finesse of an artist and aged in oak, whiskey evokes a kind of romanticism that no other drink (except wine, perhaps) can match. This golden liquid attracts collectors from across the world; some willing to spend over $500,000 on a single bottle! It is no wonder that distilleries across the world are competing to craft the perfect glass of whiskey that could be destined for greatness. Air compressors are aiding in modernisation, helping distilleries increase production and achieve higher quality standards.

When you think of the world’s finest distilleries, the mind wanders to the highlands of Scotland and Ireland. But that changed over the last decade when an unlikely contender emerged in the global market — Amrut Whisky. The company’s flagship single malt, Amrut Fusion has won accolades for its distinctive aromas: American magazine, Whisky Advocate, called it the “world whiskey of the year” and acclaimed whiskey writer Jim Murray rated it the world’s third best single malt in 2010.
