Increasingly whisky from India continues to land on our shores, the latest a single malt from Piccadilly Distilleries known as Indri, which is distilled in Indri, Haryana, and constructed from indigenous barley grown in Rajasthan. That is the primary Indian whisky to be produced in three totally different picket barrels, therefore the “Three Wooden” moniker, together with ex-bourbon, French purple wine, and PX sherry casks. The whisky is matured in three separate barrel varieties earlier than mixing, not barreled in sequence.
No age statements right here, although Indian whisky is often bottled very younger out of necessity as a result of swelteringly scorching local weather.
I’m able to tuck in, how about you?
Malty and cereal-forward on the nostril, the whisky is barely restrained and a contact doughy — nice however not instantly outstanding, although touches of fruit are aromatically evident. Happily, the whisky involves life on the palate, exhibiting a brilliant gingerbread word paired with lemon curd, brown sugar, and a slight marshmallow aspect — altogether showcasing a surprisingly candy, nearly candylike expertise. A strident orange peel word pushed by the sherry affect develops over time and permeates the end, evoking a Speyside Scotch greater than at some other level within the expertise, albeit with some degree of restraint.
All advised this diverges a bit from the extra typical Indian whisky profile to the purpose the place it might simply go for Scotch — for higher or worse.
92 proof.
