Dear whisky enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and those seeking to uplift their spirits, we bring you thrilling tidings! Brace yourselves as we unveil the toast of the town – Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2023, a proud creation of India, now basks in the glory of being crowned the world's finest whisky brand! And this isn't just any win; it's the illustrious "Double Gold Best In Show" title, proudly claimed at the prestigious Whiskies of the World competition. So, my friends, it's time to raise those glasses high to celebrate this remarkable feat!

Piccadily Distilleries: Where Magic Happens

Nestled in the Himalayan foothills, Piccadily Distilleries takes pride in crafting Indri whisky. Using six-row barley sourced from Rajasthan and the pure glacier waters of the Yamuna River, they've perfected the art of whisky making. Their secret? Traditional Indian copper-pot stills and ageing in Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry Casks. The result? A whisky that's smoky, nutty, and downright irresistible.

Indri's Rising Stardom

Indri, the homegrown brand from Piccadilly Distilleries, burst onto the scene in 2021 with its triple-barrel single malt, Indri-Trini. Fast forward to today, and it's bagged over 14 international awards. With Indian single malts gaining global recognition, Indri is leading the charge with its exquisite flavours and impeccable quality.

The Art of Craftsmanship

Crafted with care and precision, Indri whisky boasts a recipe that's nothing short of exceptional. Made from six-row barley and distilled in traditional Indian copper pot stills, this whisky takes you on a sensory journey like no other.Visualize a flavour symphony featuring smoky hints, candied dried fruits, toasted nuts, delicate spice notes, the comforting presence of oak, and a subtle bittersweet chocolate twist. If your taste buds are already celebrating, you're not alone!

A Toast to Excellence

Indri whisky is the brainchild of Piccadily Distilleries, situated in the heart of Haryana. This peated Indian single malt is not your run-of-the-mill whisky; it's a flavour explosion waiting to delight your taste buds. But what exactly is a "peated" whisky? Well, it's all about that smoky essence, and Indri whisky knows how to bring it to the forefront. They use peat fires to dry malted barley, and the result is pure magic.

A World of Indulgence

Starting from November 2023, you can savour the brilliance of Indri whisky not just in India but also in the United States and select European countries. So, whether you're planning a cosy evening at home or a grand celebration, make sure to have a bottle of Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2023 on your list. It's the whisky that brings the world together in a single sip.

Whiskies of the World Awards: The Ultimate Stage

The Whiskies of the World Awards is like the Oscars for whisky. It's where the best of the best gather to showcase their liquid artistry. While most blended whiskies combine single malt and grain whiskies from various distilleries, a single malt whisky, like Indri, hails from a single distillery. It's the epitome of craftsmanship and a testament to the unique flavours each distillery can offer.

Awards Keep Pouring In

Indri whisky's cabinet is filling up with accolades faster than you can say "cheers." From the Tokyo Whiskey and Spirits Competition to the World Whiskey Awards, it's been showered with praise. And it's no surprise – every sip is a symphony of flavours, from sweet cherry and oak to vanilla and caramelised pineapple.

Where to Find Indri Whisky

Indri whisky is not just a local legend; it's a global sensation. You can find it in various countries outside India, including the UK, South Korea, New Zealand, UAE, France, and Germany. In India, it's available across numerous states, from Haryana to Telangana. So, no matter where you are, Indri is closer than you think.

Join the Whisky Revolution

As Siddhartha Sharma, Founder of Piccadily Distilleries, rightly puts it, "The perception of India is changing globally." With Indri whisky taking the title of the world's best, it's clear that Indian spirits are making waves. So, whether you're a seasoned whisky connoisseur or just starting your journey, Indri Diwali Collector's Edition 2023 is your passport to a world of flavour.

In the words of Indri, "This unique expression entices you with a whiff of smoke and awakens your senses." So, why wait? Dive into the world of Indri and experience whisky like never before.

Tubata Opens in Delhi as a Sensory Playground of Flavours and Design

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.

Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”

Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”

Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.

The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.

Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.

Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
