Indri 2017 Single Cask No 3052 Germany Limited Edition 1 Of 144 Bottles

Description

Why it’s Highly Regarded:

Single Cask Expression: This is a pure and unblended expression of the Indri spirit from a single barrel. It showcases a specific and un-tamed character that is different from the more curated, consistent profile of the core range.

Aging in India’s Climate: The rapid maturation in India’s sub-tropical climate means that even at a relatively young age (around 7 years), the whisky has developed significant complexity and depth from the cask.

High ABV: Bottled at cask strength, it offers a powerful and full-flavored experience that can be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas.

Indri 2017 Single Cask No 3052 is a great example of the quality and depth that Indian single malts can achieve and is a testament to Indri’s growing reputation on the world whisky stage.

Indri 2017 Single Cask No 3052 Tasting Notes:

Nose: Reviewers often note a rich and inviting aroma. Key notes include classic bourbon influences like vanilla, honey, and caramel, but with a pronounced tropical fruit character. Expect aromas of mango, pineapple, nectarines, and passion fruit, along with some baking spices and a hint of perfumed wood.

Palate: The mouthfeel is generally described as rich, sweet, and almost buttery. The tropical fruit notes continue from the nose, with flavors of ripe melon, pineapple cubes, and blood oranges. There’s a generous oak influence that brings spice (cinnamon, pepper) and a warming heat, but it is typically well-integrated. Some may also find notes of vanilla custard, ginger, and toffee.

Finish: The finish is usually medium to long, with lingering sweet notes and a pleasant spice. The influence of the oak becomes more apparent on the finish, but it’s generally not overly drying or tannic. The tropical fruit notes persist, making for a very satisfying and complex dram.
