Offering an 'experience that will awaken your senses', Drú is a cask strength expression from Indri. The master blender handpicks ex-bourbon barrels before marrying them together. In Sanskrit, ‘Drú’ means wood, tree or a vessel made of wood. In ancient Indian mythology, Drú was a sacred vessel that collected ‘soma,’ a divine drink offered to the Gods.
Bottling a whisky at cask strength means taking the whisky directly from the barrel without diluting it with water, boosting its alcohol content and intensifying its flavour and strength.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - A whiff of mixed fruit basket, vanilla, subtle citrus hints, gentle spice, chocolate and honey tones expressing a robust nose profile.
Palate - A sweetish fruity forward taste with soft spice, followed immediately with sweet vanilla. Hints of chocolate with wood lactones and citrus appearing from the back of the palate.
Finish - Fuller bodies, complex with mixed fruit finish that is fairly long, chewable and salivating dram.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
