Indri Three Wood
This must-try Indian whisky comes from a village distillery running on renewable energy in the foothills of the Himalayas. Former Amrut master blender Surrinder Kumar demonstrates his unerring sense of balance, pace, and control over the fast-maturing single malt, which is distilled from organically grown six-row Indian barley indigenous to Rajasthan. Flavors of vanilla, citrus peel, baked peach, hazelnut, and cassis attest to the complex contributions from the first-fill bourbon, French wine, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.
Indri DRU Cask Strength
Dru is matured in Bourbon oak barrels, in a sub-tropical climate. Each cask for Dru has been hand selected by a Master Blender.
There are a lot of bruleed notes evoked here of flamed orange peel, kindling wood, poached pear, and fire-roasted marshmallow. Big and bold on the palate, showing stewed sweet oranges, mulled golden pears, and ginger-spiced molasses, the finish is spice-laden and well-integrated.
