? The “Founder’s Reserve” vs. “Diwali Edition”

It is easy to confuse these two because they are both high-strength, limited-run Indri releases. Here is the distinction:

• Founder’s Reserve: An 11-year-old (one of India’s oldest), non-peated, fully matured in Ex-Bordeaux Red Wine Casks.

• Diwali Collector’s Edition: An annual series (2023, 2024, 2025). These are typically peated and use a variety of casks like PX Sherry or Marsala.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Extremely rich and “jammy.” Deep notes of black cherry, red plum, and leather. There is a distinct earthy undertone mixed with vanilla and polished oak.

Palate: Thick and oily. It leads with dark chocolate and toffee, followed by a spicy surge of nutmeg, ginger, and pink peppercorns. The red wine influence is present but not “vinegary”—it manifests as bramble fruits and guava.

Finish: Long, drying, and elegant. It leaves a lingering taste of stewed oranges and eucalyptus.
