Piccadily Agro Industries Limited announces the launch of its latest creation: Indri Agneya, a lightly peated single malt whisky that brings a bold new dimension to the Indian single malt whisky industry.
Inspired by Fire, Aged with Precision
Agneya, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “belonging to fire,” is a lightly peated single malt whisky that draws its character from maturation in both Sherry and Bourbon casks. This dual-cask aging imparts layers of depth and complexity, evoking the elemental interplay of fire and wood. Crafted in the tranquil village of Indri in Haryana, Agneya is a bold yet elegant expression; one of the most refined Indian single malts to date.
On the nose, it reveals rich notes of nuttiness and ripe fruit. The palate unfolds with a smooth, rounded texture, culminating in a gentle, lingering smokiness that sets it apart. Not only does Agneya distinguish itself from Indri’s flagship Indri-Trini, but it also redefines the spectrum of Indian single malts—delivering innovation, balance and sophistication in every sip.
A Word from the Master Blender
“With Indri Agneya, we set out to push boundaries. We wanted to explore the untapped space between the familiar and the unexpected. Agneya introduces a new conversation, a whisky that hints at smoke and spice, while still retaining the warmth and complexity that defines Indri’s house style. We’re incredibly proud of what this represents for the Indri portfolio and for India’s place on the global whisky map.” said Surrinder Kumar, Master Blender, Piccadily Agro Industries Limited.
Crafted with Purpose and Peat
Agneya is matured in select American oak casks that enhance its bold character. The indigenous 6 row barley is gently kilned over peat smoke, resulting in a spirit with a whisper of smoke that enhances rather than dominates. This refined balance of peat, sweet malt, toasted oak and spice makes Indri Agneya a compelling choice for those curious about smoky whiskies but not ready for the heavy phenolic style of traditional Islay malts.
