FOOD & DRINKS
Indri: India's First Triple Cask Single Malt Whisky
Haryana’s Piccadily Distilleries has given birth to the exquisite Indri, India's first triple cask single malt whiskey. Crafted from six-row barley and distilled using traditional copper pot stills, this whiskey captures the very essence of its sub-tropical North Indian origins. With each sip, you will enjoy a remarkably smoky flavour and your taste buds will be treated to a symphony of flavours, including candied dried fruits, toasted nuts, and delicate spices; all of which harmonize with the rich notes of oak and bittersweet chocolate. The homegrown whiskey recently made history by winning the Best in Show, Double Gold at the prestigious Whiskies of the World Awards.

WORKSHOPS & COURSES
Anti-Caste Workshops & Courses
Although we have come a long way from what the abhorrent caste system used to be even half a century back, we still have miles to go as a nation and cannot stop until we have eradicated the seed of caste hatred from the minds of all our citizens. The only way to achieve that is through socio-politically conscious learning and the onus is primarily on the upper-caste members of Indian society to embrace it. In the spirit of ushering in societal change, we're exploring three insightful educational courses focused on creating anti-caste discourses in India.
