Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state and one of its largest and most complex alcohol markets. From the sophisticated nightlife zones of Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar to the growing bar culture of Noida’s Sector 18, from the heritage of Varanasi to the international tourist footfall of Agra — UP’s drinking landscape spans a remarkable range of tastes, budgets, and occasions. And within that vast and evolving market, Indri whisky has found a genuinely enthusiastic following among buyers who are stepping up from blended whiskies and discovering what Indian single malt can deliver at the premium tier.
Indri is produced by Piccadily Distilleries in Haryana — making it a neighbouring state product for UP buyers. That geographic proximity benefits UP directly in terms of distribution efficiency and pricing. Market data confirms that Lucknow and other major UP cities like Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Indore share broadly similar Indri pricing — all reflecting balanced market conditions and comparable state taxation structures. For a premium single malt of Indri’s global reputation, UP’s moderate excise framework keeps it meaningfully more accessible than in Maharashtra or Karnataka.
This is the complete and updated 2026 guide to every Indri variant available in UP, full bottle size price tables, city-wise availability, and everything you need to know as a buyer in this market.
All Indri Variants Available in UP
UP’s premium liquor stores — concentrated in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar, Noida’s Sector 18 and Sector 62, and select stores in Agra’s main commercial areas — carry the following Indri variants:
Indri Trini — The Three Wood — The flagship expression and the most widely available Indri product across UP. Triple cask matured in ex-bourbon barrels, ex-French wine casks, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks simultaneously. ABV 46%. Non-chill filtered and naturally coloured. This is the bottle that defines the Indri brand in UP’s market.
Indri Diwali Collector’s Edition — A limited annual festive release with premium collector’s packaging — typically a decorative tin or special gift box. Available at select premium liquor stores in Lucknow and Noida during the October–November Diwali period. Sells out quickly given UP’s enormous festive gifting culture.
Indri Pvai — The Four Wood — A more complex expression matured in four different cask types, adding an additional wood element beyond the standard triple cask. More limited in availability and premium priced. Found primarily at the better-stocked stores in Gomti Nagar and Noida.
Indri Sommelier — Select Cask — A sommelier-curated expression from hand-selected casks. The most premium and most limited Indri product. Available at select premium liquor retailers in Lucknow and Noida.
Indri Whisky Price in UP 2026 — Complete Size-Wise Rate List
Indri Trini (The Three Wood) — Price in UP
| Size | UP Wine Shop / Liquor Store Price |
| 90ml | ₹548 – ₹628 |
| 180ml | ₹888 – ₹988 |
| 375ml | ₹1,688 – ₹1,888 |
| 750ml | ₹3,000 – ₹3,900 |
| 1,000ml (1 Litre) | ₹4,200 – ₹4,900 |
The 750ml bottle at ₹3,000–₹3,900 is the most purchased Indri format across UP’s premium liquor stores. Market data explicitly confirms that UP pricing falls in the ₹3,000–₹3,900 range for the 750ml, reflecting the state’s moderate excise structure. This places UP’s Indri pricing broadly on par with Delhi and Lucknow being specifically cited among the cities with similar balanced pricing structures.
The 90ml miniature at ₹548–₹628 is a popular sampling format in UP’s market — many first-time Indri buyers in Lucknow and Noida start here before committing to the full 750ml. It is also widely used for corporate gifting hampers during Diwali, Eid, and wedding seasons. The 180ml at ₹888–₹988 sits in a sweet spot between sampling and value — the most practical format for occasions where you want to share Indri with two or three people without opening a full bottle.
Indri Diwali Collector’s Edition — Price in UP
| Size | UP Price |
| 750ml (Standard Collector’s) | ₹3,800 – ₹4,600 |
| 750ml (Premium Tin / Gift Box) | ₹4,200 – ₹5,400 |
The Diwali Collector’s Edition commands a meaningful premium over the standard Trini in UP’s market, driven by limited production, premium packaging, and the heightened demand during the festive season. UP’s massive gifting culture during Diwali makes this the single most searched-for premium whisky gift across Lucknow, Noida, and Agra in October and November. Buyers consistently recommend purchasing at least 2–3 weeks before Diwali to guarantee availability — stocks at Gomti Nagar’s larger stores typically sell out within the first ten days of October.
Indri Pvai (Four Wood) — Price in UP
| Size | UP Price |
| 750ml | ₹4,600 – ₹5,600 |
Indri Sommelier — Select Cask — Price in UP
| Size | UP Price |
| 750ml | ₹5,200 – ₹6,800 |
UP vs Other Indian Cities — Indri Price Comparison
Understanding how UP’s pricing compares nationally helps contextualise the value proposition for UP buyers:
| City / State | Indri Trini 750ml | vs UP |
| Haryana | ₹2,800 – ₹3,200 | Cheaper (home state) |
| Goa | ₹3,000 – ₹3,500 | Comparable/slightly cheaper |
| Chandigarh | ₹3,000 – ₹3,500 | Comparable |
| Delhi | ₹3,200 – ₹3,800 | Broadly comparable |
| UP (Lucknow/Noida) | ₹3,000 – ₹3,900 | Benchmark |
| Kolkata | ₹3,500 – ₹4,200 | More expensive |
| Hyderabad | ₹3,800 – ₹4,800 | More expensive |
| Bangalore | ₹4,500 – ₹5,500 | Significantly more expensive |
| Mumbai | ₹4,400 – ₹5,500 | Significantly more expensive |
This comparison is genuinely encouraging for UP buyers. UP’s pricing is broadly competitive with Delhi and among the most affordable in any major Indian market outside Haryana, Goa, and Chandigarh. For UP buyers who travel to Bangalore or Mumbai for business, buying Indri at home before travelling saves ₹1,400–₹2,500 per bottle — a meaningful saving on premium single malts.
City-Wise Indri Availability in UP
Indri’s distribution in UP is still concentrated in the state’s major urban centres:
| City | Trini 750ml | Diwali Edition | Pvai | Sommelier |
| Lucknow (Gomti Nagar) | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Seasonal | ✅ Select stores | ✅ Select stores |
| Noida / Greater Noida | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Seasonal | ✅ Select stores | ⚠️ Limited |
| Agra | ✅ Good | ⚠️ Limited | ❌ Rare | ❌ Unavailable |
| Kanpur | ✅ Moderate | ⚠️ Limited | ❌ Rare | ❌ Unavailable |
| Varanasi | ✅ Moderate | ❌ Rare | ❌ Unavailable | ❌ Unavailable |
| Ghaziabad | ✅ Good | ⚠️ Limited | ⚠️ Limited | ❌ Rare |
Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar and Noida’s Sector 18 are clearly the best zones in UP for the full Indri range. Outside these two zones, availability narrows significantly — the standard Trini is reliably stocked in most major UP cities, but premium variants and the Diwali Edition require visiting the larger premium stores in Lucknow or Noida.
Tasting Notes — What Makes Indri Worth the Price in UP’s Market
For UP buyers considering Indri for the first time and weighing it against familiar blended Scotch options at similar or lower price points, understanding what the whisky delivers on the glass is the most important piece of information.
Colour — Rich amber-gold with warm copper tones. The depth of colour comes from the PX sherry cask influence.
Nose — Complex and immediately inviting. Toasted oak, honey, and vanilla open first — classic bourbon barrel character. Dark fruit emerges next: raisins, dried apricots, and figs from the PX sherry casks. Beneath those layers, caramelised nuts, a hint of orange zest, and warm spices — cinnamon and clove — provide depth and intrigue.
Palate — Rich, full-bodied, and luxuriously smooth. Caramelised nuts and dark chocolate lead on the palate, joined by dried fruits and a distinctive spice warmth that builds through the mid-palate. The wine cask contribution adds a subtle red berry character and a light tannic structure. At 46% ABV, there is genuine warmth without harshness.
Finish — Long, warming, and deeply satisfying. Dark fruit and molasses sweetness from the PX sherry casks linger beautifully. Warm spices and a hint of vanilla trail through to a refined and clean conclusion. The finish alone justifies the premium over entry-level Indian blended whiskies.
Where to Buy Indri in UP
Lucknow — Gomti Nagar — The single best zone in UP for the full Indri range. Multiple well-stocked premium liquor stores in the main commercial belt carry all standard variants plus the Diwali Edition and Pvai seasonally.
Lucknow — Hazratganj — Reliable availability of the standard Trini in 750ml and 375ml.
Noida — Sector 18 — Best Indri availability in the NCR-adjacent belt. Several competing premium stores keep pricing competitive and stock consistent.
Noida — Sector 62 and 63 — IT corridor stores with good Trini availability in all sizes. Agra — Available at well-stocked stores near the main commercial areas. Stick to established licensed stores rather than tourist-zone shops.
