After a successful debut in India, Indri Single Malt Indian Whisky takes its celebrated limited edition ‘City Series’ global with an exclusive launch of Dubai Duty Free Series. This special edition features two distinct and exclusively crafted Single Cask expressions — Sauternes Cask and Oloroso Sherry Cask — each bottled at a bold 58.5% ABV, created specifically for discerning global travellers, whisky connoisseurs and collectors at one of the world’s busiest international airports.
Adding to the exclusivity, each bottle is individually numbered with only 210 bottles of the Sauternes Cask and 348 bottles of the Oloroso Sherry Cask available worldwide. These rare expressions are a true collector’s delight, showcasing Indri’s signature craftsmanship and India’s rising prominence in the world of fine single malts.
The Indri Dubai Duty Free Limited-Edition Series is a tribute to the vibrant cultural mosaic and contemporary elegance of Dubai. From the aromatic profile that echoes the city’s bustling souks, tranquil desert vistas and opulent skyline to the intricate packaging that features its iconic landmarks, this expression is a sensorial homage to the spirit of the metropolis.
“Crafting the City Series has been a journey of storytelling through flavour. For the Dubai editions, we wanted to capture the city’s dual essence — its deep-rooted traditions and its modern, global outlook. Both the Oloroso Sherry and Sauternes cask expressions reflect that harmony through bold character, complexity and elegance. These are not just whiskies, they are our tribute to Dubai in a bottle.” said Surrinder Kumar, Master Blender, Piccadily Distilleries.
“With the City Series, we aim to create rare experiences through our whiskies by capturing the soul of great cities around the world. Dubai, with its global flair and cultural richness, was a natural choice for our first international release,” said Madhu Kanna, Head International Business, Piccadily Distilleries
The Indri City Series Oloroso Sherry Cask expression, bottled at 58.5% ABV, opens with a rich nose of sweet caramel, subtle smoke, and hints of leather, vanilla, dried fruits, and roasted nuts. On the palate, it reveals a warm, fruit-forward character with layers of toffee, gentle spices, elegant nuttiness, and earthy undertones. The finish is long, sweet, and delicately smoky, leaving a refined and lingering impression.
The Indri City Series Sauternes Cask expression, bottled at 58.5% ABV, offers a rich nose of dried apricot, peach, honey, and roasted nuts, with soft vanilla and a sweet, fruity cupcake-like aroma. The palate unfolds with layers of honey, butterscotch, dry apricots, and roasted nuts, enhanced by notes of pineapple, gentle oak, and warm spice. The finish is medium to long, leaving a lingering sweetness balanced by subtle oak and a vibrant fruity lift.
Launched as part of Indri’s premium travel retail strategy, the City Series is a collection of exclusive Single Cask releases celebrating major global cities. Each edition is uniquely designed and bottled for a specific city, offering whisky lovers and collectors a taste of place through world-class Indian single malt.
Following the successful Bengaluru Duty Free edition, Indri continues to make bold strides in international markets, firmly establishing itself as one of the most exciting new names in global whisky.
