Piccadily Agro Industries Limited’s Indri Single Malt Whisky, in collaboration with whisky community platform The Dram Club, on Tuesday unveiled Indri Rudhira — claimed to be India’s first single malt whisky matured in Pineau des Charentes casks. The launch was announced on March 24, 2026.
The release is limited to 252 individually numbered bottles, bottled at 50 per cent ABV, and is priced at ₹12,500 per bottle. It is currently available only in Bengaluru.
Rudhira is a lightly peated expression distilled at Piccadily Agro’s facility in the village of Indri, Haryana. The use of Pineau des Charentes casks — a fortified wine from the Cognac region of France — marks a cask maturation style not previously employed in Indian single malt production, according to the company.
“Rudhira represents a new chapter for Indri and for Indian single malts,” said Shalini Sharma, Head of Marketing at Piccadily Agro Industries Limited. “This was never just about releasing a limited edition — it was about challenging convention and reimagining what Indian single malts can achieve.”
Swati Sharma, Co-Founder of The Dram Club, said the collaboration reflected “the growing appetite among Indian whisky lovers for distinctive and collectible single malts.”
The Dram Club, founded in 2019, is a whisky and spirits community platform with over 150,000 followers across Instagram and YouTube and has conducted more than 250 events across eight Indian cities.
Piccadily Agro Industries Limited closed at ₹542.30 on Tuesday, up 3.03 per cent from its previous close of ₹526.35. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹551.15 and a low of ₹528.00, with a VWAP of ₹539.35.
