Founded in 1984 by Mr. Viraf Chinoy, South Seas Distilleries in Dahanu, Maharashtra, has a rich legacy of crafting exceptional luxury whiskies and spirits. With a history spanning four generations, the company has overcome challenges to become synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Known for setting up India's largest copper pot stills and maturation house, South Seas now introduces Crazy Cock as its own retail whisky brand, symbolizing a new era of Indian whiskies.

Crazy Cock Single Malt Whisky is crafted from 6-row Indian barley, meticulously selected from the pristine plains of North India. Using traditional methods in copper pots, the barley undergoes malting and distillation, resulting in a full-bodied, complex flavor. The whisky is then matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with specially smoked batches adding a rich, peaty dimension to Crazy Cock Dhua.
