At the seventh edition of the IWS Awards, held at the iconic Taj Lands End, Crazy Cock Indian Single Malt Whisky secured the highest rating and was crowned Best in Show in the Indian Single Malt Whisky category. The recognition cements Crazy Cock’s position among India’s finest whiskies and alongside some of the world’s most celebrated names.

Born from a century-old legacy of craftsmanship at South Seas Distilleries, Crazy Cock is the result of patience, precision, and quiet obsession. Established long before India’s single malt revolution took hold, South Seas Distilleries stands today among the few whose heritage can be mentioned in the same breath as Yamazaki Distillery of Japan and Glenturret Distillery of Scotland.

Hosted by Vinexposium Paris, the IWS Awards are regarded as one of the world’s most respected wine and spirits recognitions. This year’s event was curated by Sonal C. Holland, Chairperson of the IWS Awards, and graced by Grace Ghazale.

Over the years, South Seas has built India’s largest private cask collection, sourcing exclusive bourbon and sherry casks from across the globe. Each drop of Crazy Cock Single Malt is drawn from this collection, matured with precision, and bottled in limited batches, ensuring every release remains truly exceptional.

At South Seas, time is the ultimate artisan. Each cask, nurtured under India’s tropical sun between the mountains and the sea, yields whisky with profound depth and bold character. The result is a spirit of extraordinary complexity and distinction, admired by connoisseurs worldwide.

“The distillery has always been obsessed with quality and meticulous in its attention to detail. Its unique location gives our whiskies the benefit of tropical maturation, creating Indian single malts of unmatched richness and character,” says Hamavand Chinoy, Director, South Seas Distilleries.

Available in select domestic markets and duty-free locations, Crazy Cock Indian Single Malt Whisky offers a rare and refined experience for those who seek India’s best.

The Gin and the Genie blends gin with raw mango cordial, adding a tangy burst of flavour that pairs beautifully with the spirit’s juniper base. A chilli salt rim adds a gentle heat, giving each sip a bold finish that feels distinctly Indian.

It’s a cocktail that captures summer in a glass — lively, layered, and refreshingly unexpected.

  • Raw Mango Cordial – 45 ml

  • Tonic Water – 90 ml

Rim a highball glass with chilli salt for a hint of spice, then pour in gin, raw mango cordial, and a dash of bitters. Fill the glass with ice and stir gently to blend the flavours. Top it off with tonic water for a refreshing finish — a perfect balance of spice, zest, and spirit in every sip.

Method: Build Up
Glass: Nude Highball
Garnish: Chilli Salt Rim

Crafted with precision and a touch of creativity, Gin and the Genie is a refreshing nod to Mirth’s inventive approach to mixology — a celebration of flavour, craftsmanship, and the timeless charm of the gin and tonic.
