- Relaunches Whistler Barrel Aged Blended Malt Whisky
- Positioned in mid-premium segment
Piccadily Agro Industries Limited has relaunched Whistler Barrel Aged Blended Malt Whisky, featuring new packaging and premium blend.
Piccadily said that Whistler’s new avatar is a celebration of barrel ageing, maturation and the art of blending. The finest matured malt and grain spirits have been handpicked and aged in oak wood barrels, creating a whisky that’s smoother, more elegant and even more memorable than before, it said. Inspired by the Whistler Warbler, a vibrant songbird native to the region of Indri, the packaging reflects the whisky’s premium ethos with a modern and sophisticated design.
The relaunched Whistler expression offers a more layered and complex drinking experience—crafted for today’s evolving palate, yet grounded in traditional whisky-making excellence.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Warm and inviting, with dried apple and apricot at the forefront. Vanilla cream and caramelised malt add delicate sweetness, complemented by toasted oak, cinnamon, and floral hints.
- Palate: Silky and well-rounded with a rich malt core. Notes of toffee, pineapple, and vanilla glide through the sip, underscored by gentle spice and warmth.
- Finish: Medium to long, leaving a graceful trail of mellow sweetness and soft refinement.
Whistler Whisky (750 ml / 42.8% ABV) will be available across premium retail outlets and on-trade venues across India, with plans for export expansion in the coming months, the company said.
“Whistler’s new premium look is more than a brand refresh — it’s a strategic play to capture the next wave of premium whisky consumers,” said Praveen Malviya, CEO – IMFL, Piccadily Agro Industries Limited. “With its elevated blend and bold new identity, Whistler is poised to disrupt the mid-premium segment. Our goal is ambitious — 1 million cases in the next three years — and we’re confident Whistler will become a powerhouse brand that redefines what Indian blended malts can achieve.”
