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, characterized by hot summers and cool winters, accelerates maturation, resulting in rich and flavorful 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.

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.
