A Champion of the People: Amrut’s XXX Classic Rum Tops Global Rum Rankings
Amrut Distilleries is proud to announce that its consumer-favorite rum, Amrut’s XXX Classic Rum, has been named The Spirits Business Rum Brand Champion 2026, one of the most prestigious recognitions in the global spirits industry.
A millionaire brand is one that sells more than one million 9-litre cases annually, an achievement attained by only a select few spirits brands worldwide. It is a benchmark that signifies not only scale, but also enduring consumer relevance and market leadership. For Amrut Distilleries to have not one but three millionaire brands within its portfolio places the company in an elite league of global spirits producers. The recognition of Amrut’s XXX Classic Rum as The Spirits Business Rum Brand Champion 2026 further reinforces the strength of a brand that has continued its upward trajectory to reach an outstanding ~1.7 million 9-litre cases, placing it within touching distance of the coveted two-million-case milestone.
First introduced in 1960, Amrut’s XXX Classic Rum has spent over six decades earning the trust and affection of consumers. Its success is ultimately a story of unparalleled consumer acceptance and enduring brand love. Few brands command the kind of loyalty that transcends generations, enduring tumultuous macro environments, making them a preferred choice for millions year after year. Its rise to become one of the world’s most successful rum brands reflects not just strong sales performance, but a deep and lasting connection with consumers who have embraced the brand as their own. The Rum Brand Champion 2026 title is a powerful validation of this legacy—celebrating a brand that continues to set the benchmark for the category through trust, consistency, and unwavering consumer appeal.
While Amrut Distilleries has earned global acclaim for pioneering Indian single malts and ultra-premium spirits, the company’s roots have always been firmly grounded in creating quality products for a broad consumer base. Amrut’s XXX Classic Rum embodies this philosophy—delivering consistency, authenticity, and value to millions of consumers across India and beyond.
Mr. Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing Director, Amrut Distilleries, comments:
“This honour is particularly special because it celebrates a brand that has been embraced by consumers for more than six decades.

Reaching 1.73 million cases and being recognized as The Spirits Business Rum Brand Champion 2026 is a reflection of the immense love, loyalty, and trust our consumers have shown us over the years. We dedicate this achievement to them, as well as to our teams, partners, and stakeholders who have contributed to this extraordinary journey.”
