Indri begins with the finest hand-harvested, indigenous, 6-row barley, locally sourced and sustainably grown by family farmers in Bundi, Rajasthan, who have cultivated barley for four generations. The distillery is home to 6 traditional copper pot stills designed and manufactured in India and operates its own on-site cooperage to assemble, toast, char, and repair its barrels. The extreme temperature of the region aids in the rapid aging of barreled spirits, resulting in single malts that show maturity far beyond their age.
The distillery is proud to generate its own power without the use of any fossil fuels, instead relying on the chaff from their barley and rice to produce renewable energy. Farmers re-use and recycle barley seeds every year and leftover material from spirit production is reused for cattle feed. Additionally, no groundwater is extracted, and no chemical fertilizers are used during the farming process.
