South Seas Distilleries and Breweries Private Limited, a legacy Alcobev company launched ‘Crazy Cock’ – their first retail whisky brand with 2 expressions the Double Oak and Dhua. An ode to the mythical rooster sporting a monocle, the name symbolizes a new era for home grown whiskies, celebrating the Indian subcontinent, and distilling its best flavors for whisky enthusiasts across the globe. South Seas Distilleries founded in 1984 by Mr Viraf Chinoy, is located in Dahanu on the northern coast of Maharashtra and has become synonymous with crafting exceptional luxury whiskies and spirits. The company's journey is a remarkable story of entrepreneurial vision across 4 generations of a Parsi family, enabled from pioneering distilleries set up since 1929, through the trials and tribulations of prohibition, to a rebirth in 1975, and the setting up of South Seas in 1984 - a fitting illustrious successor to extend one of the oldest distillery legacies in India. Known for setting up the countries biggest copper pot stills and maturation house, South Seas who has been producing the malt for others finally launches its own. Crazy Cock stands out as an exceptional single malt whisky crafted from 6-row Indian barley, carefully selected from the pristine plains of North India. The barley undergoes malting and distillation using the traditional method in copper pots. The whisky is matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, for a full-bodied, complex flavor. Specially smoked batches add a rich, peaty dimension reserved for Crazy Cock Dhua. "In the dynamic landscape of global spirits, Indian whiskies are currently enjoying a spotlight. Our esteemed clientele includes some of the world's leading alcohol beverage giants, a testament to our longstanding partnerships. Shifting from corporate engagements to catering to individual connoisseurs of luxury, our distillery has been honing the art of distillation for over three generations. This initiative is a celebration of our enduring craftsmanship, as we joyfully continue our legacy by crafting a new array of exceptional whiskies under the banner of Crazy Cock.” Said Mr. H.V. Chinoy
The MRP in Mumbai for the Double Oak expression is 8900/- and Dhua is 12500/- per 750 ml bottle.
