Indri DRU Cask Strength Indian Single Malt Whisky
Indian Single Malt | 57.2% ABV | 114.4 Proof | 750mL | Haryana, India | Ex-Bourbon Barrel Matured | Non-Chill Filtered | Natural Color
Process & Profile
Indri DRU is a cask strength Indian single malt made from indigenous six-row barley and twice distilled in copper pot stills. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, it brings together selected casks to showcase a rich combination of fruit, vanilla, chocolate and gentle spice.
Distilled and aged in Haryana, northern India, DRU develops its character in the region’s subtropical climate. Seasonal temperature changes encourage interaction between the spirit and oak, shaping its full-bodied texture and concentrated flavors. Sweet fruit leads the profile, supported by honeyed notes, citrus and warm spice.
Bottled at 57.2% ABV without chill filtration or added color, DRU offers room to explore with water. Its name comes from Sanskrit, where “Dru” can mean wood, tree or a vessel made of wood—a fitting reference to its bourbon barrel maturation.
