Piccadily Agro Industries Limited, producers of Indri, India’s largest-selling single malt and the fastest-growing globally, proudly announces the U.S. launch of Indri Agneya Single Malt Indian Whisky. This lightly peated expression, retailing at $80/750ml, will be available nationwide beginning October 1, 2025.
Indri Agneya has already made history as the only Indian single malt to win Double Gold at the 2025 New York World Spirits Competition, solidifying India’s position on the global whisky map.
What Makes Indri Agneya Unique
Derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “belonging to fire,” Agneya is crafted from indigenous 6-row barley, lightly kilned over peat smoke. This process creates a whisky with a delicate whisper of smoke—enough to intrigue, but not overwhelm.
The whisky is matured in a combination of Sherry and Bourbon casks, delivering depth, balance, and complexity. The dual-cask influence highlights the interplay of fire, oak, and malt, resulting in a bold yet elegant dram.
Tasting Notes for Indri Agneya
- Nose: Rich nuttiness, ripe fruit
- Palate: Smooth, rounded texture with sweet malt, spice, and toasted oak
- Finish: Gentle, lingering smokiness that enhances rather than dominates
Positioned as a bridge between approachable single malts and traditional smoky whiskies, Indri Agneya is a compelling choice for whisky lovers seeking something new.
Master Blender’s Perspective
“With Indri Agneya, we wanted to explore the untapped space between the familiar and the unexpected,” says Surrinder Kumar, Master Blender. “This whisky introduces subtle smoke and spice, while retaining the warmth and complexity of Indri’s house style. We’re proud to continue elevating Indian single malts on the global stage.”
