Indri Trini Three Wood

The brand’s flagship (and currently only) offering is Indri Trini – The Three Wood, a whisky that left a memorable first impression when I initially tasted it several months ago. The whisky is named after the city Indri in the state of Haryana, which is where the brand’s parent company is located. Piccadily Agro was officially founded in 1967, but the founding family has been in the alcohol distribution business since 1953. Alcohol production started in 1994, but it wasn’t until 2012 that the facility was upgraded to include a malt distillery.

Indri Trini – The Three Wood starts with a six-row barley variety (common for Indian whisky) grown in the neighbouring state of Rajasthan. As the name suggests, it matures in three different cask types, namely ex-bourbon, French red wine and ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Maturation brings some challenges, as the warehouses are located in an area where the temperature can range from near zero degrees Celsius in winter to +40 degrees in summer.
