The bottles, which were featured in the July 2011 issue of \u003cem\u003eHOW Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, were designed by Nancy Harris Rouemy — a former art director at \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e — and are made by a sustainably-focused manufacturer.  The swirl icon on each bottle, which is Arabic in design, is meant to represent infinite possibilities.

His family had been distilling Mahia — a type of Moroccan moonshine — for generations before David moved to the United States in 1981.  \"When I was six or seven years old,\"he says, \"I used to watch my parents distilling.  My mother taught me her recipe when I was just a boy.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nStaying true to his Moroccan roots, Nahmias mimics his mother's recipe the best he can — \"it's hard because she had no measurements,\"he sheepishly adds.  Mahia is made from distilling 100% figs harvested from common fig trees.  Common fig trees are incredibly resilient to drought and heat, which has resulted in figs becoming wildly popular throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East.  Nahmias sources figs from California and has them transported to his distillery just outside New York City.  After the whole figs arrive at the distillery, he crushes them three times in order to produce a doughy-type mash.  The 100% fig-mash is then fermented for up to two weeks at low temperatures.  Following fermentation, Nahmias distills the wash inside a 1,000 liter, 4-plate Kothe copper pot still. During distillation, he adds fresh, domestically-sourced anise to the still's vapor basket, infusing the fig distillate with notes of dark licorice and absinthe.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3520\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Mahia bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Other Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe understand that some people are explorers at heart, and the classics just won't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, many other unique spirits are not listed in the main categories but are still worth the mention, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=absinthe\"\u003eabsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e, aperitivos, and other Special spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou're welcome to check our excellent \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/\"\u003especial spirit selection\u003c\/a\u003e, find your favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/top-10-other\/\"\u003eTop 10 list of other spirits\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/?price=0-50\"\u003eBest other spirits under $50\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411726991573,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/154.png?v=1745568465","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/mahia","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
