UAE. Piccadily Distilleries has teamed up with Dubai Duty Free and Maritime and Mercantile International (MMI) in a tripartite partnership for the exclusive launch of Indri’s Diwali Collector’s Edition 2026 at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
The latest festive expression is being introduced as a global first for Dubai and will be available exclusively at the airport throughout October, ahead of its wider international release.
The launch is highlighted by a high-profile promotional activation designed to raise product awareness and encourage shopper engagement.
The programme also includes tastings at Hard Rock Cafe at DXB, giving travellers the opportunity to sample the Diwali Collector’s Edition.
As reported, Indri’s Diwali Collector’s Edition 2026 Ruby Port Cask marks the fourth release in the brand’s annual festive series.
Made from six-row barley and distilled in traditional copper pot stills, the whisky is matured in hand-selected Ruby Port wine casks from Portugal in the subtropical climate of northern India. The maturation process brings together the character of Indian single malt and the fruit notes of fortified wine.
The whisky features aromas of black cherries, wild berries and ripe plums, followed by notes of honeyed fruit, roasted nuts, toffee, vanilla and figs on the palate. The finish is long and fruit-forward.
Drawing on Indian miniature art and royal heritage, the packaging was designed by Krsnaa Mehta, Founder of India Circus. The artwork combines jewel tones, intricate floral patterns and ornate detailing with a Marwari horse and its foal, representing nobility, lineage and continuity. ✈
