Old Port Deluxe Crafted is an Indian rum from Amrut Distilleries of Bangalore, bottled at 42.8% ABV.
It is made from molasses on a column still and matured in ex-whisky and new oak casks.
Dark amber in the glass, it is sweet on the nose, with spice, plum and dark fruit.
The palate brings dried and ripe tropical fruit with tobacco and caramel, leading to a warm finish.
Its classic label, with a sailing ship, reflects the long seafaring tradition of rum. Amrut is best known for its acclaimed Indian single malt whiskies, and it brings the same craft to this rich, warming rum, a great-value bottle for mixing and easy sipping.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.

How to Enjoy It
Old Port Deluxe is great with cola and a wedge of lime, or with ginger beer for a Dark and Stormy. It adds depth to a rum punch, a Mai Tai or a hot buttered rum, and it is pleasant sipped over ice with a twist of orange. Pair it with spicy curries, tandoori chicken, jerk pork and gulab jamun. For a party, batch a spiced rum punch with pineapple, lime and a pinch of cardamom. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
