Piccadily launches Indri Founder’s Reserve 11-year-old single malt whisky; here’s the price tag

Piccadily Agro Industries Ltd, the parent company of India's fastest-growing single malt whisky brand, Indri, has unveiled its latest creation: the Founder’s Reserve 11-Year-Old Single Malt. This new offering is dedicated to the group's founder, Pt. Kidar Nath Sharma, as a tribute to his legacy.

Aged for 11 years in Ex-Bordeaux Red Wine Casks, this offering is a limited-edition release with only 1,100 bottles available worldwide. The release will be split evenly between India and select international markets. The company says the release is both a collector’s treasure and a connoisseur’s delight. The limited-edition single malt is priced at ₹35,000 in Gurugram, the group tells Fortune India.

This is much higher than the flagship offerings of the group under its Indri brand. In Gurugram, Indri's flagship single malt Indri-Trini is priced around ₹3,000 for a 750ml bottle. The Indri-Trini Cask Strength (Dru), a higher ABV expression at 57.2%, is available at approximately ₹4,800–₹5,200, depending on the retailer. Limited editions or special cask finishes—such as those matured in ex-Bourbon, French wine, or PX Sherry casks—typically range between ₹5,000 to ₹6,000.

The oak barrels so used are the ones that were previously used to age red wine from the Bordeaux region of France and are now repurposed for aging whisky.

The whisky is kept at its distillery located in Haryana under extreme climate conditions throughout the year, accelerating the whisky’s maturation, creating an opulent, full-bodied expression that exudes complexity and depth unique to the region’s terroir.

“Indri Founder’s Reserve 11-Year-Old single malt is a symbol of India’s ascension in the world of fine single malt whisky. Aged to perfection and crafted with care, this expression embodies the essence of our founder’s dream: to create world-class Indian single malt whisky with soul, structure, and enduring quality,” said Shalini Sharma, Head of Marketing, Piccadily Agro Industries Limited, in a statement.

The whisky will have a 50% alcohol by volume (ABV) for India and 58.5% ABV for international markets.

“The deep amber liquid offers an aromatic bouquet of dark fruits and warm spices that open into a palate of caramelised nuts, and velvety vanilla, concluding with an indulgent finish of oak and wine-influenced sweetness,” the group said in a statement.

The Founder’s Reserve 11-Year-Old single malt whisky has garnered several prestigious global accolades, including the Gold Award at the 2025 World Whisky Awards in the Single Malts 12 Years & Under category, a spot among the top 15 whiskies in the world at the International Whisky Competition, and a Gold Medal at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, among other notable honours.

Recently, the group also launched its Indri Experience Centre in Haryana, offering whisky lovers an immersive journey into the world of single malt whisky. Visitors can take guided distillery tours, curated tastings, and interactive sessions highlighting the artistry of whisky making. The centre also features exclusive Putting & Chipping Golf Greens—offering a refined blend of recreation and whisky appreciation against the backdrop of the maturation hall.
