The Story

Born from Ancient Barley, Raised in Himalayan Air

Indri single malt emerges from the Piccadily Distillery in Haryana, near the foothills of the Himalayas. What makes it extraordinary begins long before distillation — in Rajasthan, where traditional Indian six-row barley has flourished for millennia, cultivated through organic, sustainable indigenous practices.

The yield is smaller than modern methods, but the reward is immense: a distinctively fruity, floral character that is uniquely Indri’s — and unlike anything else produced anywhere in the world of whisky.

The Trinity

Three Woods, One Extraordinary Whisky

The name “Trini” derives from Trinity. Each of the three cask types imparts its own distinct character, and together they create a sensory tapestry that is uniquely Indri.

🥃

Ex-Bourbon Cask

Sourced from American white oak previously used to age bourbon, these casks bestow creamy vanilla, warm coconut, and a gentle sweetness that forms the backbone of Indri’s approachable character.

Ex-French Wine Cask

Drawn from the wine regions of France, these barrels lend a honeyed peppery note and a delicate florality — adding elegance and complexity found in very few Indian whiskies.

PX Sherry Cask

Pedro Ximénez sherry casks impart a deep amber hue along with luscious dark fruits — black currant, raisins, and a lingering sweetness that makes every sip an unforgettable journey.

On the Nose

Caramelised pineapple leads with warm vanilla undertones, threaded through with floral hints from the six-row barley and French wine cask influence.

👅

On the Palate

Rich and complex: honey, black tea, and dark fruit notes from the PX sherry cask, balanced by raisins and a citrus brightness that keeps the spirit light.

The Finish

A long, warm finish with subtle nuttiness and lingering citrus. The smoothness and flavour remain long after the glass has been set aside.

The Making of Indri

Authenticity guaranteed: Indri Trini is non chill-filtered with no added colour. Every natural compound from grain to cask is preserved, expressing India’s terroir in full fidelity.
🌾
Step 01

Six-Row Indian Barley

Traditional Indian six-row barley is cultivated using age-old indigenous practices in Rajasthan — organic, sustainable, and yielding a distinctively fruity and floral character that defines Indri’s DNA.

💧
Step 02

Malting & Mashing

Step 03

Distillation at Piccadily

Distilled at the Piccadily Distillery in Indri, Haryana. The unique microclimate near the Himalayan foothills accelerates maturation and creates a character impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Triple-Cask Maturation
