Velier was founded by Casimir Chaix in Genoa in 1947 as an importer and distributor of wines and spirits. In the 1980s they were still a small family business with fewer than ten employees. Everything changed in 1986 when it was purchased by Luca Gargano, a former Saint James brand ambassador who was still in his twenties at the time. Under his direction, they selected their first single cask whiskeys in 1992 and their first rum in 1996. In the decades since, Velier has become one of the most collectible brands in the industry, and Gargano has positioned them as one of the leading authorities and rum bottlers anywhere in the world.

This rum was distilled in 2015 and aged in a single ex-Bourbon #225 barrel for 7 years.

Amrut Distilleries was founded in Banagalore, India, in 1948. Its initial business was the production of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), which is the government-mandated term for non-indigenous spirits, such as vodka, rum and , of course, whiskey. . The current distillery building was built in 1987 and the Amrut single malt brand was launched in 2004 after years of experimentation with producing whiskey that would closely mirror the production of Scotland's Speyside region. Amrut is now a highly regarded single malt, thanks in large part to the many catalytic reviews and awards Jim Murray has received over the years.
