Indri Agneya Single Malt Indian Whisky
Indri Agneya Single Malt Indian Whisky is a 46% ABV (92 proof), 750mL Indian single malt — matured in a combination of American ex-bourbon casks and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled with no age statement, non-chill filtered with no added color — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Agneya takes its name from the Sanskrit word for "born from fire" — a nod to the gentle peat smoke that threads through this whisky. It is distilled and bottled by Piccadily Agro Industries at the Indri distillery in Indri, Haryana, India — the distillery built in 2010 to make world-class Indian single malt. India's fast, hot maturation climate does the heavy lifting: tropical warmth drives deep cask interaction in just a few years, pulling dried fruit and toasted oak from the PX wood and vanilla and light coconut from the bourbon casks, while a whisper of smoke keeps the whole thing honest. The US release (imported by IMPEX Beverages) is labeled "Indri-Trini Agneya," the same liquid the whisky world has been watching as India's single-malt renaissance gathers pace.
Tasting notes (trade and press consensus): nose of dried figs, vanilla, toffee, and chocolate with citrus peel and a delicate smokiness; a rich, creamy palate of tropical fruit (mango, banana), brown sugar, honey, warm baking spice, and toasted oak; a long, harmonious finish where sweet fruit, soft peat smoke, and gentle salt resolve together. Drinkhacker scored it B+ / 8.5/10, calling out its sweet-savory balance.
Why buy: Indian single malt is the category's hottest discovery — and Agneya is its accessible, fire-touched entry point: full-strength flavor in a bottle built for pouring. Explore more Indri and browse more world whisky and bourbon-cask whiskies at Del Mesa Liquor.
