I have been looking forward to getting my hands on Whisky Review: Indri Trini Three Wood Single Malt. Bottled at 46% ABV and priced at $60, it promises genuine character.
Palate
The whisky is rather juicy and fruity, but not like the gum. Banana Laffy Taffy mingles with lemon verbena for the majority of the sip. The mouthfeel is a little oily with zest. Red cherry and apricot punch out the middle before finishing with cinnamon and oak. The whisky is only slightly smokey with a layer of earthiness. It took a while for me to decipher the lingering note on the palate, but I narrowed it down to coconut.
Finish
The Indri Trini Three Wood has truly changed my mind about Indian whisky. The three types of casks used really benefit the dram with a multitude of flavors. The whisky comes off as earthy, fruity, and spiced. The oak does not overpower the liquid and the sweltering climate has matured the whisky nicely. The blender did an impeccable job creating balance and a great single malt.
The Bottom Line
Whisky Review: Indri Trini Three Wood Single Malt is outstanding — one of those bottles that reminds you why you fell in love with whiskey in the first place. If you see it at $60, do not hesitate. This one earns a permanent spot on the shelf.
