Our Story
Take A Swig Of Legacy
Our first decision to bottle novelty was shaped by the gusty winds from the Western Ghats, swallowing the crests of coconut palms and sugarcane fields. Here, we reawakened the history of pre-colonial Kerala. We took the largest swig of one of our favorite traditions: producing arrack in its purest form.
Handcrafted For Maximum Flavor
Handcrafted, our concoction is packed with character and distilled for maximum flavor. Malabari Vaatte is prepared with sugarcane extracts and tropical fruits. The makers curate a celebration of our lush evergreen forests and rich topography.
This makes our unaged spirit a truly timeless blend of authenticity with a modern twist.
Mandakini Brings Home
Right to you. Right from the heart of the Western Ghats, the heat of Dutch, Portuguese and British invasions, and an unbeatable spirit of resilience, we craft the perfect serve of novelty to your doorstep. Producing a higher quality spirit that will serve the spirit of South Asian arrack, our esteemed distillers are devoted to making it a noteworthy chug of tradition.
