Limited whisky releases from India

About this listIndia

The releases on this list come from three Indian single malt distilleries: Amrut Distilleries, headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, which also makes Two Continents; the Indri distillery of Piccadily Distilleries in the village of Indri, Haryana, near the foothills of the Himalayas; and John Distilleries in Goa, which makes Paul John. Amrut Single Malt debuted in the UK on 24 August 2004, and its Greedy Angels bottlings are older whiskies made in small numbers, such as a 10 year old Chairman's Reserve of 320 bottles, at a time when Indian casks lose close to 10 to 12% of their whisky during maturation against 1 to 2% in Scotland. Amrut Spectrum is matured first in ex-bourbon barrels and then in a custom barrel built from staves of several oaks; the 2015 release used new American, French and Spanish oak with ex-PX and ex-Oloroso sherry staves and came to 1000 bottles at 50% abv. The Indri Diwali Collector's Edition is an annual festive release that began in 2023 with a Peated PX Sherry Cask bottling, and the 2026 edition, the fourth, is matured in Ruby Port casks and limited to 600 numbered bottles for the Indian market. The Paul John Christmas Edition was first released in 2018 and changes its cask finish each time; the sixth edition in 2023 was finished in a Colheita Tawny Port cask and came to 8,682 bottles across all markets at 46% abv.
