Der Bloedlemoen (Blutorange) wird in Kapstadt in einem besonderen Verfahren hergestellt der ihm den einzigartigen Charakter verleiht. Die Blutorangen aus dem Ceres Tal werden getrocknet, über Nacht eingemaischt und am folgenden Tag zusammen mit den Wacholderbeeren, den Koriandersamen und der Kassia Wurzel dem Destillations Prozess unterzogen.
 
Das Ergebnis ist ein fruchtiger, nach Zitrusfrucht duftender, weicher Gin mit einem leichten Zimtgeschmack im Abgang. Der Nachgeschmack von Blutorangen ist atemberaubend.&nbsp;

Bloedlemoen Gin

Hope Distillery 

An amber variant of the Bloedlemoen Gin, this was developed some years after the launch of the original, in response to the need for a richer gin for winter.
 
Infused with a range of fynbos botanicals, including lemon buchu and nutmeg pelargonium, it is macerated post-distillation with local honeybush, which gives it a rich colour and warm, sweet caramel notes.

Bloedlemoen Amber Gin

Uniquely aromatic and fragrantly spicy. This gin is distilled with a mix of traditional botanicals and lots of pink peppercorns.

Spicy and fragrant on the nose, the pink peppercorn develops beautifully on the palate and holds up well with tonic and in cocktails.

skyPixX GmbH

Der Classic Knysna Gin aus Südafrika hat als Hauptbotanical die südafrikanische Num Num Berry, welche ein einzigartiges und unvergleichliches Geschmackserlebnis bietet. Die Num Num Berry ist eine einheimische süß schmeckende rote Frucht und eine Hommage an die Stadt Knysna. Der Classic Knysna Gin ist würzig und hat eine leichte Süße und Fruchtigkeit.&nbsp;
Klar wahrnehmbar sind Sternanis und natürlich Wacholder. Auch Kardamom, Koriander sowie Mondia Whitei geben ihm die Würze, während Honigbusch, Mandeln, Zimt die süßlichen Noten abrunden. Alle Zutaten begleiten das Wacholderaroma, ohne jedoch den Geschmack zu dominieren. Der Classic Knysna Gin hat einzigartige Aromen und versteht es die Würze und Süße perfekt zu balancieren.
 
Der Gin wird von Hand destilliert, in einer mit Feuer beheizten Alembic Destille mit Kupferbrennkessel. Das feine Aroma stellt die angewendete Dampfextraktion bzw. „vapour infusion“ sicher. Der Knysna Gin wird 12h destilliert bevor er seine 30 tägige Ruhezeit antritt. Das Ergebnis ist ein reiner, milder Gin.

Mapesu Private Game Reserve

Quadruple distilled from the finest white grape spirits in small batches. Extensive fractional distillation produces a smooth base of the finest quality and purity. This pure spirit is then infused with premium juniper berries and elements from 33 indigenous botanicals, sustainably hand harvested for their bark, roots, berries, flowers, stems, peels or leaves. Most of these botanicals are members of the fynbos group of plants for which the region is world famous.
These botanicals are macerated in the alcoholic base prior distillation to allow for optimal binding of the herbal aromas. Vapour-path extraction of flavours are then achieved by suspending the botanicals from the top of the kettle in a muslin bag.
A stepwise bending of pure Franschhoek granite mountain spring water results in a truly unique gin of the highest quality.
Deep and complex herbal aromas with hints of orange essence, cloves and white pepper, honey and wild Fynbos all overlaying a perfectly smooth palate make this into a gin to treasure.

Kaiza 5 Blue Gin 

Six Dogs Blue Gin derives its name from the Blue Pea Flower (Clitoria Ternatea), an antioxidant and aphrodisiac in traditional medicine. The infusion of Blue Pea gives the Gin its striking colour, while the alchemy of this unusual botanical is further revealed when the Gin is mixed with a good tonic, changing the colour to light pink. Six Dogs Blue is a classic dry Gin with hints of freshly-cut Lucerne over hand-picked and morning-harvested Rose Pelargonium. Six Dogs Blue is a party Gin that offers a touch of magic – beautiful by itself and when mixed with tonic, it can also be enjoyed with a variety of garnishes from berries in season to herbs and spices to rose petals. Let your imagination run riot!

Cruxland Gin

An African craft gin from Procera, distilled in Nairobi with 10 botanicals, all sourced from across Africa, including Madagascan pink pepper and Moroccan orris root. However, the most important botanical here is a relatively unseen species of juniper, Juniper Procera (most gins use Juniper Communis), also known as African juniper as it only grows in the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia. This different variety gives the gin a nuttier, earthier backbone. After distillation, the gin is bottled into stunning hand-blown bottles, also produced in Nairobi. A truly unique gin.
