This triumph follows Indri Diwali Collector's Edition's prestigious victory at the Whiskies of the World Awards 2023, where it was hailed as the Best Whisky in the World, earning the esteemed “Best in Show, Double Gold” accolade.

Founder of Piccadily Distilleries, Siddhartha Sharma, expressed pride in Indri's recognition, stating, “The rise of the Indian whisky industry is remarkable, and Indri is honored to lead this transformation. The widespread acclaim garnered by Indri from consumers and critics worldwide is a testament to our commitment to crafting top-quality whiskey, favored by discerning consumers.” He emphasized Indri's unique identity as the sole Indian single malt whiskey on VinePair's prestigious list, underscoring the brand's dedication to excellence.
Indri-Trini distinguishes itself as India's pioneering triple-cask single malt whiskey, distilled in the village of Indri, Haryana. The name "Trini" pays homage to the trio of esteemed casks—ex-Bourbon, ex-French wine, and PX Sherry—in which the whiskey matures.
This triple-cask aging imparts a distinctive flavor profile, characterized by notes of caramelized pineapple, vanilla, black tea, raisins, honey, and a lingering essence of sweet fruity flavors. Crafted with premium 6-row Indian barley from Rajasthan, Indri-Trini celebrates the region's rich heritage and time-honored traditions.
Available in 19 states across India and distributed in 18 countries worldwide, Indri-Trini continues to captivate whiskey enthusiasts with its unparalleled quality and exquisite flavor profile. As Indri continues to make its mark on the global whiskey landscape, its legacy as an emblem of Indian craftsmanship and excellence remains unwavering.
