What Makes the 2026 Edition Special

Every year, Indri pays tribute to the festive spirit of Diwali through a new cask finish. Following the 2025 Marsala cask release, Indri Diwali 2026 Collector's Edition transitions to Portugal with hand-selected Ruby Port casks, infusing the whisky with a depth of rich, dark-fruited flavours.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Expect aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum, complemented by figs, toffee, and vanilla.
• Palate: The body reveals honey and dried fruit flavours, rounded off by almond and hazelnut.
• Finish: This whisky offers a long and smooth finish, perfect for sipping and savouring.

Subtly fruit-forward, Indri Diwali 2026 Collector's Edition encourages enthusiasts to add a few drops of water, which can open it further and enhance your tasting experience.

An Award-Winning Series

The Diwali series by Indri commenced in 2023 and has already secured 29 prestigious awards worldwide. The 2025 Marsala cask edition notably achieved the title of Best World Whisky at the Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards with an impressive score of 99.1 points out of 100. The 2026 release is already making waves, having garnered six awards, including Gold medals at the World Whisky Masters and the New York World Spirits Competition.

Master Blender Surrinder Kumar has stated that this release "pushes the boundaries of Indian single malt while staying true to what makes it distinctly Indri." This statement reflects the innovative spirit that drives Indri's distillation process.

About Indri

Indri is produced in the village of Indri, Haryana, located near the majestic foothills of the Himalayas. The distillery prides itself on crafting in small batches using traditional copper pot stills and six-row Indian barley. The subtropical climate of Haryana, characterised by hot summers and cool winters, accelerates maturation, resulting in rich and flavourful whiskies even at a relatively young age.

Collector-Worthy Packaging

The stunning bottle design, created by Indian artist Krsnaa Mehta, features a depiction of a Marwari horse and foal—a symbol of India's royal heritage—illustrated in traditional Indian miniature painting style. This artistry makes the bottle not only a vessel for whisky but a piece of collectible art.

Released Just in Time for Diwali

The Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2026 was launched on 5 October 2026, ahead of the Diwali festival celebrated on 8 November. With only 180 bottles available, it serves as an extraordinary gift and a coveted addition to any whisky collection.
