South Seas Distilleries and Breweries Pvt. Ltd., an esteemed Alcobev company with a legacy, is unveiling 'Crazy Cock' as its inaugural whisky brand for direct consumer sales. This marks a significant milestone in the realm of Indian whiskies, as Crazy Cock aims to redefine the landscape and offer a unique, luxury experience for whisky enthusiasts globally.

Crafted from 6-row Indian barley sourced from North India, Crazy Cock is a single malt whisky that undergoes traditional malting and distillation in copper pots. The result is a fusion of tones and a delightful medley of subtle fragrances. The whisky matures in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, presenting a rich, multifaceted flavor profile. Notably, the Dhua expression adds a deep, peaty quality, enhancing the distinctiveness of Crazy Cock.

Crazy Cock Single Malt Whisky offers two variations:

Rare: Aged in Double Oak casks, this full-bodied and exquisite single malt achieves a seamless fusion of bourbon and sherry casks. With floral notes, honey, chocolate, spices, and a lingering finish, Rare promises an indulgent experience.

Dhua – The Peated One: This rich and mildly peated single malt, aged in bourbon and rare sherry casks, delivers a perfectly balanced whisky. With warm notes of raisin, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a touch of mandarin, Dhua represents a true masterpiece.

Crazy Cock embodies a philosophy of standing out and challenging the status quo in the world of spirits. H.V. Chinoy, representing the distillery, expresses a commitment to craft exceptional whiskies, celebrating a legacy of over three generations. The brand embraces uniqueness and invites individuals to redefine their narrative.

Crazy Cock aims to captivate sophisticated tastes both in India and globally. Initially available in Mumbai, Goa, and Haryana, the brand plans for a wider expansion in the upcoming months. This initiative reflects the dynamic landscape of Indian whiskies, currently in the spotlight on the global stage.

With Crazy Cock, South Seas Distilleries introduces a new era in Indian single malt whiskies. The meticulous craftsmanship, unique expressions, and commitment to excellence position Crazy Cock as a distinguished player in the luxury segment. As the brand expands its footprint, it promises to deliver an unparalleled drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking the extraordinary.
