With a family history stretching back to 1922, South Seas Distilleries provides two exceptional Mahura expressions: Six Brothers Small Batch (Original) and Six Brothers 1922 Resurrection.

Named, Six Brothers 1922 Resurrection, it features the world’s oldest matured Mahura spirit, specially aged for decades in oak barrels. Limited to just 102 bottles, the commemorative 1922 Resurrection, the spirit has perfected Mahura distillation. With an ABV of 40%, the cost of Six Brothers 1922 Resurrection is ₹1,02,000, payable solely through allocation.
Additionally, India’s First Luxury Heritage Spirit, Six Brothers Small Batch is a refined small-batch variety. It is platinum-filtered and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The spirit has a crisp, well-balanced mouthfeel. The spirit has a clean, peppery finish, a smooth palate with savoury undertones, and a sweet, earthy scent of dried fruits.
The Origins Of Mahura Spirit
Mahura is also referred to as Mhowra, Mahuva, Mahua, etc. This depends on where in India it is located. India’s native Mahura flower blooms in the spring and is known for its fragrant, sweet nectar. Over time, Mahura Spirit became more than just a drink. It symbolised cultural pride, heritage, and a sense of identity for the people of the region. During the colonial era, the Mhowra Act of 1892 forbade the gathering of Mahura flowers and the manufacturing of this flower-based spirit. Six Brothers aims to position itself among the finest luxury spirits globally, appealing to a discerning audience that values craftsmanship, history, and exclusivity.
In Maharashtra, Six Brothers Small Batch costs ₹2,492 at all prestigious Mumbai retail establishments. So, when are you having it?
