Mangrove Global has expanded its world whisky portfolio with the arrival of Indri, created by India’s largest independent malt spirits producer, Piccadily.
The whisky was launched in India in 2021 and has already become a multi-award-winning spirit, with wins at the 2023 Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition and The Spirits Business Global World Whisky Masters.
Mangrove will now bring Indri’s expressions, Dru and Trini to the UK, as well as limited volumes of Diwali, which will be allocated exclusively to selected customers.
Indri’s flagship expression, Trini, marries three ex-casks together: bourbon, French wine and PX sherry. This blend lets each cask contribute its unique taste, without overshadowing the whisky’s fruity, sweet and nutty flavour profile.
Dru is a cask-strength expression matured in ex-Bourbon barrels for a complex and fairly long, mixed-fruit finish.
Indri released its Diwali limited edition in 2023, made from peated six-row barley and matured in PX Sherry Casks. It claimed a double gold award at the Whiskies of the World Awards in the same year.
Nick Gillett, Mangrove Global MD said: “The beauty of world whisky is the story that each spirit is able to tell as the authentic flavours of each terroir shine through. These distinct expressions from Indri each offer something different to the drinker, but all will help to transport world whisky lovers to this unique part of the world.
“We’ve spent a lot of time and effort building our world whisky portfolio into a best-in-class curation of exceptional spirits. And having Indri join us is just further testament to Mangrove’s commitment to bringing new, exceptional liquids to the UK market.”
