Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2025
58.5% ABV | 750mL | Indian single malt whisky | Marsala wine-cask finish | Diwali 2025 Collector's Edition — Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2025 is the annual festive release from Piccadily Distilleries in Indri, Haryana, in the foothills of the Himalayas: indigenous six-row Indian barley, matured in select ex-bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected Marsala wine casks from Sicily, which give the whisky its deep mahogany hue. Named Best World Whisky at the Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards 2025 (99.1/100). Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The Marsala finish drives the profile: stewed apricots, cherries, and plums with nutty spice, vanilla, and honeyed caramel on the nose; a full-bodied palate of red berries, chocolate, nutmeg, and walnuts with earthy depth; and a long finish of fruity wine notes over delicate oak. Among world whiskies, Indri has become the name that made Indian single malt impossible to ignore — and the Diwali edition is its most decorated annual bottling.
