Piccadily Agro Industries Limited, makers of Indri, India’s best-selling single malt whisky and one of the fastest-growing globally, has announced its latest release: Indri Agneya.
The new expression, a lightly peated single malt, brings a bold new dimension to the category and will be available nationwide beginning October 1 (SRP: $80/750 ml). Notably, Indri Agneya is the only Indian single malt to have earned a Double Gold at the 2025 New York World Spirits Competition.
Derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “belonging to fire,” Agneya draws its distinctive character from maturation in both Sherry and Bourbon casks. The dual-cask aging lends layers of depth and complexity, evoking the elemental interplay of fire and wood. Crafted in the tranquil village of Indri in Haryana, the whisky offers an elegant yet assertive profile: rich with nutty and ripe fruit aromas, a smooth, rounded palate, and a gentle, lingering smokiness.
Distinct from Indri’s flagship Trini expression, Agneya aims to expand the spectrum of Indian single maltsbalancing innovation, craftsmanship, and sophistication in every sip.
“With Indri Agneya, we set out to push boundaries,” says Surrinder Kumar, Master Blender, Piccadily Agro Industries Limited.
“We wanted to explore the untapped space between the familiar and the unexpected. Agneya introduces a new conversation, a whisky that hints at smoke and spice, while still retaining the warmth and complexity that defines Indri’s house style. We’re incredibly proud to continue to elevate Indian single malts and secure India’s place on the global whisky map.”
“Indri Trini and Dru have been well received and have been a daily dram for many consumers; we hope that Agneya will be an exciting addition to this,” says Madhu Kanna, Head of International Business.
“While we feel humbled with the resounding success, acceptance, and love that Indri continues to receive not only in the USA but from all over the world, we have complete confidence that Agneya will continue on the same path.”
Agneya is matured in select American Oak casks that enhance its bold character. The indigenous six-row barley is gently kilned over peat smoke, resulting in a spirit with a whisper of smoke that enhances rather than dominates. This refined balance of peat, sweet malt, toasted oak, and spice makes Indri Agneya an inviting choice for those curious about smoky whiskies but not ready for the traditional style of Islay malts.
