Single Malt Whisky finished in
Mahura casks.
The inquisitive nature of the master whisky maker,
to innovate and experiment with unique
casks,
has
given birth to these one-of-a-kind single malts.
Born of oak, patience and an innate inquisitiveness for the Sui Generis nature of the unexplored, this exquisite single malt begins its journey in ex-Brandy and ex-Bourbon casks, drawing warmth, depth, and fruit-rich character. But it finds its soul from Madhuca or Mahura, the sacred flower of the forests of India.
Matured first in ex-Bourbon and ex-Wine casks, this single malt draws rich layers of apricot, vanilla, zesty citrus and marzipan. But its final transformation comes from an inquisitive pursuit of a Sui Generis, ancient tree: the Madhuca or Mahura tree, sacred in the heart of the forests of India.
Born of a time-honoured copper pot still distillation techniques combined with an inquisitiveness to explore Sui Generis flavours from the wild heart of India, this single malt begins its journey in a classic bourbon cask. But it’s the final flourish - an exotic finish in ex-Madhuca or Mahura casks at South Seas, one of India’s oldest malt distilleries with over a century of distilling legacy for Madhuca spirits - that sets it apart.
An ode to those who see beyond convention —
the crazies, the pioneers, the bold.
This inaugural single malt collection unites the country’s oldest,
rarest, and most exquisite whiskies.
Each cask was chosen not to follow tradition, but to redefine it —
expressive, layered, alive.
A whisky born of time and individuality, crafted for minds
that wander and wonder.
Made for those who don’t fit in — because they were never meant to.
A whisky not made to impress the world — but to move it.
The family previously owned distilleries in the princely states of Jawhar and Akkalkot in the 1920s
till India’s
Independence, when prohibition was announced which brought an abrupt end to operations.
Decades later,
after the easing of prohibition in India, the family restarted the distilling
business, reviving a legacy deeply rooted in Indian whisky craftsmanship. Quite obviously, our vast and
varied experience over the years has honed our skills and helped us
gain a profound understanding of malts and magic. With the fourth generation taking forward the legacy,
there is a renewed ambition to place Indian single malt whisky on the global stage. Given our expertise,
we are now boldly venturing into uncharted territory, creating single malt whisky from India that stands
shoulder to shoulder with the world’s finest malts.
All in all, we are unafraid to walk the path less taken and to carve our own niche in the world of
whiskies. For us,
crafting an Indian single malt whisky is not just about distillation, but about
identity, heritage, and home.
After crafting spirits which speak our story, we have arrived at our true calling. We are home.
