Crazy Cock

Crazy Cock is an exceptional single malt whisky distilled from 6 row Indian barley, sourced all the way from the pristine plains of North India. The barley distilled using the old, traditional method; In Copper Pots which bring alive a rich melange of delicate notes and a medley of subtle aromas. The whisky is matured in ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry casks for a full-bodied and complex flavour profile. Batches of it are smoked for a mildly, peaty experience and set aside for Crazy Cock Dhua. These eclectic single malts are carefully selected by the Master Blender, each for its uniquely rewarding aroma and palate and crafted to perfection in small batches of Crazy Cock Single Malt Whiskies.

Crazy Cock single malt whisky

Four generations of
legacy and over a hundred
years of distilling wisdom.

Crazy Cock

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. 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 from the previous, there is a new-found ambition in the air. Given our vast expertise, we are now boldly venturing into uncharted territory.

All in all, we are unafraid to walk the path less taken and to carve our own niche in the world of whiskies. We know that the one thing that makes a long, tiring journey worthwhile is the warm feeling of coming home.

After crafting spirits which speak our story, we are home.

What’s your
Kind of crazy?

Crazy Cock

A different kind of crazy.

I was born to stand out, not fit in.

I was raised to question the status quo.

I am a soft rebel in a world of hard conformists.

I am destined to probe, question and reinvent not to abide, obey or comply.

I am a different kind of crazy.

I am Crazy Cock.

Good single malt whisky

We are crazy about
quality over quantity.

South Seas is the first malt distillery in the West Coast of India, a journey which traces its roots to the quaint village of Aswa in Dahanu, Maharashtra. The warm micro climate in the region leads to greater evaporation, resulting in an Angel’s Share far greater than in cooler climates. Predictably, a far greater Angel’s Share leads to a greater loss in quantity But did that stop us? Far from it The unique micro-climate results in exceptional, full-bodied, small-batch single malt whiskies as mellow as the ones far greater in age, yet remarkable owing to their distinct and complex flavour profile.

Simply because, at South Seas, good isn’t good enough. We are obsessive about great over good, about remarkable over refined and about quality over quantity

We are crazy about
tropical maturation.

Considering the warm coastal climate, we were called out for setting up operations in Dahanu. The gentle Arabian Sea breeze meets the embrace of the Sahyadri Mountain Range to aid tropical maturation. The peaks and troughs of the warm coastal climate drive the whisky into the wood to impart a distinct character, vis-à-vis whiskies produced in cooler climates. This results in single malt whiskies with complex flavour profiles characterised by hints of tropical fruits and spices with a rich depth and finish.
