Mahua, India's first luxury indigenous spirit ?

Before international spirits became synonymous with sophistication, the Mahura flower spirit was the favoured nectar of India’s elite. In 1922, six brothers, ancestors of the South Seas Distilleries founders, pioneered the commercial crafting of refined Mahura spirits in India. Nestled in Dahanu, Maharashtra, South Seas has refined distilling knowledge passed down for over a century, becoming a key part of India's distilling heritage. With the country's largest copper pot stills and an unimaginable collection of rare oak casks in India’s largest maturation warehouse, the distillery brings a modern, innovative approach to the world’s first luxury heritage spirit. By reviving Mahura in a luxury avatar, South Seas introduces its latest release, Six Brothers, to the world with two distinct expressions. Mahura is also known as Mhowra, Mahuva, Mahua, Mohua, etc., based on its geographic location in India.    
Six Brothers 1922 Resurrection by South Seas Distilleries
This is the world’s first ever matured Mahura spirit, priced at INR 1,02,000 with only 102 exclusive bottles available globally. Aged for decades in rare oak casks at India’s largest maturation warehouse at South Seas, this spirit bridges the gap between a traditional white spirit and fine whisky. It pays homage to the family’s rich heritage when six brothers first began distilling Mahura for royal families. Price: 102000 INR
Six Brothers Small Batch (Original)
For those looking to explore luxury Mahura spirits, South Seas offers a small batch variant that presents a more accessible introduction to this historic spirit. Double distilled in India’s largest copper pot stills and refined through platinum filtration, this expression achieves an exceptionally crisp and smooth texture, setting a new standard in the art of Mahura distillation. Equally refined as it is versatile, it stands confidently alongside world-renowned spirits and can be enjoyed neat or in a variety of cocktails at any time of day.
Rs 2492 (Six Brothers Small Batch (original) is available in all leading retail outlets in Maharashtra and will soon be available in Goa and Haryana.)
