Indri Agneya is a lightly peated Indian single malt whisky produced by the Piccadilly Distillery. The name "Agneya" is a Sanskrit word meaning "belonging to fire," referring to its light peat smoke. The whisky is double-distilled from six-row barley and matured in both ex-bourbon and sherry casks, resulting in a complex profile with notes of tropical fruit, toffee, spice, and a gentle smokiness.
