Piccadily unveils Indri Agneya, its new lightly peated single malt whisky
Piccadily Agro Industries Limited , the maker of India's fastest-growing single malt brand Indri, on Thursday announced the launch of its latest creation, Indri Agneya , a lightly peated single malt whisky . Crafted in the village of Indri in Haryana, Agneya gets its name from the Sanskrit word meaning 'belonging to fire.' The whisky carries a whisper of peat smoke layered over a complex profile built from aging in both Sherry and Bourbon casks, the company said in a release. The result is a warm, balanced dram with subtle smoke, rounded spice, and a lingering finish.

It's matured in American oak, both ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks, which adds richness without overwhelming the senses. On the nose, it opens with nuttiness and ripe fruit; on the palate, it offers a smooth, layered texture and finishes with elegant, lingering smoke. Live Events This makes Agneya a compelling choice for whisky drinkers curious about peat but hesitant to dive into more phenolic-heavy styles. Agneya is the second major single malt offering under the Indri label, following the success of Indri-Trini, a triple-cask matured malt launched in 2022. The new release not only differentiates itself from its predecessor but also signals Piccadily's growing confidence in crafting whiskies that resonate both locally and globally. More than a product launch, Agneya is part of a broader ambition to place India firmly on the global whisky map. Piccadily says the brand represents a commitment to innovation and terroir-driven spirits that rival top-tier malts worldwide. Indri Agneya is currently available in Haryana at a minimum selling price (MSP) of ₹3,800. It will soon be launched in premium retail outlets across India, global travel retail, and select international markets in the coming months. Piccadily Agro Industries Limited (PAIL), a publicly listed company, operates primarily in two sectors: distillery and sugar. Its 168-acre facility in Indri, Haryana, houses advanced production systems for malt, extra neutral alcohol (ENA), ethanol, and sugar. In addition to its single malt portfolio, Piccadily also produces blended malt whiskies and Camikara, an aged rum made from sugarcane juice. Since the launch of Indri in 2022, the company has embraced premiumisation, helping it become India's fastest-growing single malt brand by 2024. With Agneya, Piccadily is betting big on India's evolving whisky palate—and looking to make smoke and spice part of the mainstream conversation.
