Indri Founder’s Reserve Becomes the First Luxury Indian Whisky Listed at Harrods

Piccadily Agro Industries marked the international debut of its Indri brand with an exclusive listing at Harrods in June, featuring the 11 Year Old Founder’s Reserve. The bottle sells for £350 and is limited to just 1,100 bottles worldwide — stock sold out within weeks of launch, and the whisky is now available only through a handful of specialist UK retailers.

The whisky is matured for 11 years in ex-Bordeaux casks and bottled at cask strength, 58.5% ABV. It is crafted at the Indri distillery in Haryana, at the foothills of the Himalayas, where northern India’s extreme climate speeds up maturation. Tasting notes include dark fruit and warm spice, followed by cherries, red plums, vanilla and oak.

Jose Cuervo Launches a Tequila Finished in Mole-Seasoned Casks

JOSE CUERVO SILVER

Proximo Spirits this month launched Reserva de la Familia by Jose Cuervo Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2 – Mole Cask, an añejo tequila the brand is marketing as the “world’s first” tequila finished in casks that previously held mole, the traditional Mexican sauce built on cacao and chili. The finishing process lasts three to four months and is meant to layer cacao and warm spice notes onto the Reserva de la Familia collection’s classic roasted-agave character.

The limited edition is bottled at 40% ABV and sells for $120 per 75cl bottle, currently available in the US market. The release lands in a year when major tequila brands keep experimenting with gastronomy-inspired cask finishes to stand out in an increasingly competitive premium segment.

Jose Cuervo Silver is already available in Mister Tabaco’s spirits range, in the Alcohol category.

Bardstown Bourbon Releases a Whiskey Finished in Pineapple Rum Casks

Bardstown Bourbon Company released Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish Whiskey on July 24, 2026, a limited edition created by finishing 10-to-11-year-old bourbons in casks that previously held pineapple rum, together with fresh pineapple. The result is a 53% ABV American whiskey produced in a small run — under 350 cases in total — priced at $139.99 for a 75cl bottle.

The Bardstown, Kentucky distillery continues its series of experiments with unconventional cask finishes, a trend that keeps growing among American bourbon producers looking to surprise drinkers with unusual flavor profiles — in this case, tropical notes of caramelized pineapple layered over the classic character of aged bourbon.
