Dru, bottled at 57.2% ABV, is a cask strength expression from Indri, where selected Ex-Bourbon barrels are handpicked and married together by the master blender to offer an experience that will awaken your senses.
In Sanskrit, ‘Dru’ means wood, tree or a vessel made of wood. In ancient Indian mythology, Dru was a vessel in which ‘soma’ (a drink) was collected and offered to the Gods.
Indri Single Malt Indian whisky is distilled and matured in the subtropical climate of northern India, at the eponymous town of Indri in the state of Haryana, near the Himalayan foothills. Angels here are indeed greedy as the loss is between 10 to 12% every year due to evaporation. Yet, this accelerated evaporation helps mature the whisky much faster and gives it a totally different dimension as is evident from its deep colour and intensely packed flavour.
Non Chill-Filtered & No Added Colour

TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Whiff of mixed fruit basket, vanilla, subtle citrus hints, gentle spice, chocolate, and honey tones expressing a robust nose profile.
PALATE: Sweetish fruity forward taste with soft spice followed immediately with sweet vanilla, hints of chocolate with wood lactones, and citrus appearing from the back of the palate.
FINISH: Full bodied, complex with a fairly long mixed fruit finish making it a salivating dram.
