Distillation: Crafting a Premium, Exceptional Quality Gin

What makes our gin truly special is the infusion of more than 30 indigenous botanicals, carefully and sustainably harvested from the Cape Floral Region. These botanicals represent a rich variety of South African flora, with many of them belonging to the world-renowned fynbos plant family. Every ingredient is selected for its unique contribution—whether it’s the bark, roots, berries, flowers, stems, peels, or leaves.

Before distillation, these botanicals are macerated in the alcoholic base. This allows their natural aromas and flavors to bind and infuse deeply into the spirit, creating a complex and rich flavor profile.

In the next step, the magic happens through vapor-path extraction. The botanicals are suspended in muslin bags above the base spirit within the still. As the spirit evaporates and passes through the suspended botanicals, it absorbs their delicate flavors in the form of vapor. This process captures the most aromatic elements of the botanicals without overwhelming the spirit, resulting in a balanced and harmonious gin.

The final step in our distillation process is blending the spirit with pure, granite-filtered mountain spring water from the Cape region. This water adds a crisp freshness to the gin, enhancing its flavor and smoothness. This stepwise blending ensures that each bottle of gin embodies the natural beauty and diversity of the Cape, creating a unique spirit that is as pure as it is complex.

The result is a handcrafted gin with a smooth, refined taste, bursting with the aromatic complexity of South Africa’s indigenous botanicals. From the first sip, you’ll experience layers of flavor that transport you to the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
