Indian Craft Spirits on the Rise: Indri Single Malt Whisky & Camikara Rum

From India’s Piccadily Agro Industries come two standout spirits redefining the country’s place on the global stage: Indri Single Malt Whisky and Camikara Rum.

Both embody India’s craftsmanship, terroir, and bold approach to innovation, earning international acclaim and capturing the attention of whisky and rum enthusiasts worldwide.

Indri Single Malt Whisky

Launched in 2022, Indri Single Malt Whisky has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing single malts in the world, amassing more than 40 prestigious accolades from competitions including the New York International Spirits Competition, World Whiskies Awards, and Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards. Produced in Indri, a small village in Haryana, and made from premium six-row Indian barley sourced from Rajasthan, Indri exemplifies the country’s mastery of modern whisky-making.

Indri Agneya

SRP $80 | 46% ABV

Named after the Sanskrit word for “belonging to fire,” Agneya is a lightly peated single malt matured in both Sherry and Bourbon casks. The dual-cask aging imparts rich complexity, balancing nuttiness and ripe fruit on the nose with a rounded, smoky finish. Elegant yet bold, it’s one of the most refined Indian single malts to date.

Indri Trini (The Three Wood)

SRP $55–$60 | 46% ABV

India’s first Triple Cask Single Malt—matured in ex-bourbon, ex-French wine, and PX sherry casks—Indri Trini has become a benchmark for Indian single malt quality. This award-winning whisky (New York International Spirits Competition 2025, World Whisky Awards 2022, World Whisky Masters 2022) balances notes of black tea, caramelized pineapple, honey, oak, and sweet sherry with a smooth, lingering finish. It’s a shining example of India’s evolving whisky excellence.

Indri Dru

SRP $80–$90 | 57.2% ABV

Meaning “wood” or “vessel made of wood,” Dru is a cask-strength expression at a great price made by hand-selecting and marrying ex-bourbon barrels. With accolades from Miami Global Spirits Awards 2025, World Whiskies Awards 2024, and New York World Spirits Competition 2023, this release bursts with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, citrus, and honey. The finish is long, full-bodied, and beautifully complex.

Camikara Rum

From the same visionary team behind Indri comes Camikara, a rum that brings the French Rhum Agricole style to Indian terroir. Crafted entirely from fresh sugarcane juice, (no molasses, color, sugar, or additives) Camikara represents a first in Indian distilling. Aged in American oak, the result is a pure expression of land and craft.

Camikara 3-Year-Old Rum

SRP $29–$32 | 42.8% ABV

India’s first pure cane juice rum, Camikara 3-Year-Old recently earned a Gold Medal at the Rum & Cachaça Masters Awards 2025 in London—the first Indian rum ever to do so. The spirit reveals naturally sweet sugarcane, melon, and honey on the nose with delicate smoky oak on the palate and a balanced, smooth finish.

Camikara 8-Year-Old Rum

SRP $40–$45 | 42.8% ABV

India’s first pure cane juice rum with no additives, Camikara 8-Year-Old is distilled in copper stills and aged for eight years in American oak barrels. The rum opens with honey, caramel, and prunes, unfolding into layers of banana, marshmallow, and warm spice. The finish brings gentle wood and caramel depth, making it one of the most mature and complex rums to emerge from India’s growing spirits scene.
