Indri Agneya Single Malt Indian Whisky, 46%

Indri, named after the place where the distillery is located, is a small village situated in the catchment area of River Yamuna, nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas. Indri or Indriya in Sanskrit also refers to the 5 senses: Smell-Taste-Touch-Sight-Sound.
Part of the Piccadily distillery group which has three distilleries in the Northern part of India: Indri, Patiala and Bawal.

The malt distillery at Indri was set up in 2012. The distillery is also home for 6 traditional copper pot stills (designed and made in India) and 40,000 barrels.

The extreme temperature of the Northern plains helps the malt spirit mature faster inside the barrels, naturally. This also means the angels happily take away their share and leave behind sweet tropical flavors and rich natural color.

The distillery is proud to generate power for its consumption without using any fossil fuels.

Agneya (UG-nee-YAH), derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “belonging to fire”, is a lightly peated Single Malt whisky matured in Sherry and Bourbon casks, where depth and complexity unfold to embody the very essence of fire and wood.

It is one of India’s most refined and elegant whiskies, balancing its complexity with notes of nuttiness and ripe fruit, followed by a gentle smokiness on the palate.

NOSE: Delicate hints of chocolate undertones intertwined with subtle vanilla sweetness; a touch of spice, dried apple and apricot. Notes of fruit jam and peat dust with earthy undertones.

PALATE: Mango, ripe banana, rich toffee,and light spice followed by a warm embrace of dried peat smoke. Melon adds a refreshing twist, while a sweet, fruity essence lingers with a soft, rounded smokiness.

FINISH: A blend of sweet and salty nuances culminating in a smooth & smoky finish. Balanced layers of tropical fruit sweetness and soft spice leave a lasting impression and a long finish.
