Indian-made whiskey, Indri, recently received the prestigious ‘Best in Show, Double Gold’ award at the 2023 Whiskies of the World Awards. This competition, which is one of the largest in the world for tasting whiskey, evaluates over 100 types of whiskies from all over the globe each year. The Indian single malt triumphed over numerous international brands, including scotch, bourbon, Canadian, Australian, and British single malts.

Introduced in 2021, the locally-produced brand Indri from the Piccadilly Distilleries in Haryana began its journey with the inaugural triple-barrel single malt from India, known as Indri-Trini. Over the past two years, it has secured more than 14 international accolades, as reported by The Sunday Guardian.

The Whiskies of the World Award positions India as a leading player in the global whisky industry, particularly in the production of single malts, thereby reshaping the perception of spirits manufactured in the country.

With an expanding market for whiskey enthusiasts, Indian brands have gained prominence, crafting a diverse range of whiskey styles, including single malts and blends, often infused with distinct regional flavors and aromatic profiles.
