Amrut Distilleries 50th Single Malt Launches at Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel

Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center, in collaboration with Amrut Distillery, announces the launch of an exclusive single malt whisky crafted exclusively for Zarf, the hotel's signature Indian fine-dining restaurant. Marking Amrut's landmark 50th single malt release, the partnership brings together two Indian institutions united by a shared commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and contemporary luxury.

Conceived as the first single malt whisky created exclusively for a restaurant, this collaboration reflects Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield's vision of its food and beverage destinations as platforms for meaningful, experience-led partnerships. Distilled from Indian six-row barley and matured for over six years in a carefully selected refill virgin American oak cask, the bespoke expression has been thoughtfully designed to complement Zarf's culinary philosophy, one that draws inspiration from the flavors of "forgotten India" and reimagines them for the modern, luxury-conscious diner.

"At Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield, our F&B destinations are designed to lead conversations," said Sanjay Gupta, Multi Property General Manager, Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center. "This collaboration with Amrut, a respected Indian family-run brand, reflects our strategic focus on innovation through one-of-a-kind partnerships where cuisine, craft, and culture come together to create experiences that are truly distinctive and destination-defining. Zarf continues to evolve as a space where Indian heritage is expressed in a modern, globally relevant way."

The exclusive single malt was paired with the specially curated menu at Zarf, crafted exclusively to echo the whisky's layered character and depth. The culinary experience featured signatures such as Mushroom ki Galouti with Lucknow potli spices and saffron warqi, Peshawari Namak Mandi lamb chops, lamb galouti kebab finished with saffron warqi, and Dal-e-Zarf, slow-cooked in stoneware with yellow moong lentils and desi ghee, creating a seamless dialogue between spirit and cuisine.

Commenting on the milestone release, Mr. Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing Director, Amrut Distillery, a brand with a singular and enduring legacy, said, "Releasing our 50th single malt in collaboration with Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield and Zarf marks a truly meaningful milestone for us. I am especially pleased that for our first private label in India, we have partnered with an esteemed institution like Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield, for their bespoke restaurant, Zarf."

The launch evening at Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield also featured a fashion walk curated by Prasad Bidapa with Hemant Trevedi's designs inspired by the colors and flow of the whiskey, adding a subtle yet sophisticated visual dimension to the experience and complementing the evening's focus on craftsmanship and contemporary expression. Through this collaboration, Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield strengthens its positioning as a leading culinary and lifestyle destination, while Amrut continues to reinforce its stature as India's most awarded and admired single malt, together setting a new benchmark for experiential luxury in the country.
