I just picked up this bottle based on your review as I’ve been really enjoying Indian whisky. I’m a big Amrut fan, with Paul John and Rampur close behind, but Indri is disproportionately good (especially for the price). This Dru blew me away to the point that I will likely get a backup and the store I picked it up from also has an Indri single barrel bourbon cask that I’m now interested in. Thank you for the review and keep up the great work, as always. The “Single Licorice Review” quip made me laugh out loud unexpectedly.
Great review. I would love to try this next to the Kavalan Solist ex Bourbon cask. That’s the only other bottle I can think of that would be similar to this and the Kavalan is 2-3x the price.
Might the Indian climate be one where instead of losing alcohol as casks mature, they instead are more prone to lose water and thus raise the alcohol over time, something that I've read can happen in parts of the US--or perhaps, can happen due to the design of the warehouses used in parts of the US?
Thanks so much! It is nice to see reviews of Indian Whisky as there are not many to watch. Now Indian Whisky is on my to try list for 2024.

Also the Dru makes one of the best highballs I’ve had in a long time
