Indri’s House of the Dragon whisky collection boasts two distinct flavours inspired by the iconic councils of Westeros. The first is the House of Black, and the second is the House of Green. House of Black channels the fiery spirit of the Black Council with this whisky. Enticing aromas of sweet toffee, creamy vanilla, and a hint of peat greet your nose, followed by a symphony of flavours on the palate – sweet chocolate, toffee, and earthy notes mingle with dates, figs, and vanilla. The finish is a lingering dance of sweet richness and gentle peat smoke, promising an adventurous journey for your taste buds. The other comes with aromas of ripe bananas, vanilla, toffee, honey, raisins, and pineapple filling the air. The delicate yet complex palate offers a delightful bouquet of sweet, fruity, floral, and nutty flavours, complemented by elegant spice, chocolate, and dried fruits. A subtly sweet finish with lingering fruitiness leaves a lasting impression, reminiscent of the luxurious courts of Westeros.
Indri’s House of the Dragon collection is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. Each sip is an invitation to explore the ancient world of Westeros, where legends are born and destinies are forged. With two distinct expressions to choose from, whisky enthusiasts and Game of Thrones fans alike can raise their glasses and choose a side – will you join the fiery House of Black, or the refined House of Green? “We are incredibly excited to celebrate House of the Dragon and bring the rich legacy of Westeros to life through the artistry of our single malt whisky,” says Siddhartha Sharma, Founder of Piccadily Distilleries. This innovative partnership sets a new standard for collaboration and creativity, further solidifying Indri’s position as a leading Indian whisky brand.”
The House of the Dragon collection boasts minimalist and sophisticated packaging, striking a balance between clean lines and subtle nods to the series’ dramatic themes. Both expressions maintain the brand’s signature bottle shape, ensuring immediate brand recognition. For House of Green, the colour palette evokes a sense of regality with an emerald green lid and an amber bottle that reflects the golden hues of the whisky itself. House of Black offers a starker contrast, featuring a sleek black bottle paired with a crimson lid that hints at the fiery spirit within. Unifying both expressions is the inclusion of elegant dragon motifs subtly incorporated into the design, a tasteful tribute to the show’s source material.
The Indri House of the Dragon Exclusive Edition will be available at select premium outlets across India and exclusively at Delhi Duty Free, with prices ranging from INR 6,000 to 11,500 depending on the state. So, whether you favour fire or finesse, there’s a perfect bottle from from Indri awaiting you.
