Over the past year, VinePair evaluated hundreds of whiskeys from around the world and selected one standout bottle from each category based on flavor, balance, depth, and complexity at various price points. At the beginning of each year, they release a list of the World’s Best Whiskeys, and this year, Indri Trini was named the Best ‘New World’ Whiskey. Other winners include Wilderness Trail Small Batch High Rye Bourbon as the Best Bourbon, Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye as the Best Rye, Glenglassaugh Sandend Highland Single Malt Whisky as the Best Single Malt Scotch, Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey as the Best Irish Whiskey, Mars ‘The Lucky Cat May & Luna’ as the Best Japanese Whiskey, and Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye as the Best Canadian Whiskey. Among these global brands, Indri stands out as the only Indian whiskey on the prestigious list.
Siddhartha Sharma, founder of Piccadily Distilleries, shared his pride in this milestone, stating, “The Indian whisky industry is making remarkable progress, and Indri is leading the way. The growing love for Indian single malts, including Indri, among consumers and critics worldwide, is truly rewarding. This recognition by VinePair is a significant honor. Being the only Indian single malt whisky on the list motivates us to continue crafting high-quality whiskies that are loved by consumers everywhere.”
