Homegrown single malt, Indri’s Diwali Collector’s Edition 2023 won ‘Best in Show Double Gold’ at the renowned Whiskies of the World Awards. This one is a peated Indian single malt created with six-row barley and distilled in traditional copper pot stills made in India. This special expression entices you with a whiff of smoke and awakens your senses to a myriad of flavours such as candied dried fruits, toasted nuts, subtle spices, oak, bittersweet chocolate, and more. Moreover, it has been carefully matured in PX Sherry Casks for a long time in the sub-tropical climate of North India.
