South Seas Distilleries has brought a significant moment for Indian spirits to the global stage with the introduction of Six Brothers Mahura in duty-free travel retail. This marks the first time a Mahua-based spirit has entered India’s travel retail space, offering international travellers a chance to experience a product deeply rooted in the country’s indigenous distilling traditions.
Six Brothers Mahura is crafted using the Mahua flower from the Madhuca longifolia tree, an ingredient that has long held cultural and economic value across India’s tribal regions. For centuries, these blossoms have been used to create traditional spirits, making Mahua an important part of local heritage. Often compared to agave in Mexico’s tequila story, the Mahua flower stands as a uniquely Indian element with the potential to gain global recognition.
Historically, Mahua distillation faced challenges during the colonial period due to strict excise laws and forest regulations, which limited access to raw materials and pushed this traditional practice into the background. Its entry into duty-free retail now signals a revival, bringing this age-old craft back into focus for a wider, international audience.
Alongside Six Brothers Mahura, the duty-free portfolio also includes selections from the Crazy Cock Indian Single Malt Whisky range. This collection features expressions such as Rare, Dhua and the Madhuca heritage edition, reflecting India’s growing presence in the global single malt segment. The Madhuca edition, in particular, is finished in mahua-seasoned casks, adding a subtle floral character that connects it back to its roots.
Speaking on the launch, Hamavand Chinoy, Chief Operating Officer, South Seas Distilleries, said:
“The entry of Mahua into duty-free retail is a cultural milestone for India. By bringing this heritage spirit to global travellers, we are showcasing an ingredient that has been cherished by tribal communities for centuries. It is also a proud moment to present Indian craftsmanship through our Six Brothers and Crazy Cock portfolios to audiences from around the world.”
Travel retail has long been a space where consumers discover premium and unique spirits from different regions. With Mahua now entering this channel, India’s traditional distillation heritage finds a place alongside globally recognised spirits, opening up new possibilities for awareness and appreciation.
Beyond its cultural importance, Mahua also plays a role in supporting rural livelihoods. The harvesting process is often community-driven, rooted in forest-based practices that promote sustainability and responsible sourcing. This adds another layer of value to the spirit, connecting it to both environmental and social impact.
As global consumers continue to explore new flavours and stories, Mahua’s floral notes and deep cultural roots position it as a distinctive offering in the premium spirits segment. The entry of Six Brothers Mahura into duty-free retail not only marks a first for the category but also highlights India’s evolving presence in the global beverage landscape.

Leading the list is Pantry, known for serving mindful meals without compromising on indulgence. Its breakfast menu includes the Four Cheese Omelet, bringing together mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan and artisanal gouda for a rich start to the day.

Its smoothie bowls and parfait options, including Dragon Fruit Parfait, Blueberry Honey Parfait and Green Protein Smoothie, offer refreshing choices packed with nutrients.
Adding a creative touch to breakfast is Juliette Café & Bar, where classic comfort food meets global flavours. The café’s smoothie bowl collection, featuring options like The Beetfruit, Day Dreamer and The Green Galaxy, includes a mix of fruits, nuts, seeds and superfoods.
Those looking for sweet breakfast options can choose Japanese Fluffy Pancakes and French Toast, while savoury selections include Healthy Bowls, Quinoa Upma and Eggs Benedict Crobun. The Benne Dosas also bring a familiar South Indian touch to the menu.
Across the city, cafés and cloud kitchens are increasingly focusing on menus that balance indulgence with healthier ingredients. From protein-rich scrambles to energising smoothie bowls and wraps, breakfast options are becoming more thoughtful and diverse.
With changing eating habits and growing interest in wellness-led dining, these breakfast destinations show that healthy eating no longer means giving up flavour or comfort.
