A stones throw from Parliament, at the end of a cul-de-sac our tiny distillery goes about its business finding fresh ways of creating and introducing people to quality, modern spirits. Although we more than appreciate traditional methods and the history of distillation, the notion that ‘older is better’ could not be further from our opinionated truth. Our “Master Distiller” is still in his 20s, a

It's finally time to share our 2024 Mom Gin with you 🌷

New to Mom Gin?

It's infused with amazing floral and nutty notes thanks to unique ingredients such as Toasted Coconut, Black Sesame, Watermelon Seeds and Tulips.

In 2023, we launched Unconditional Gin, featuring a tulip on the label - as an ode to Andre’s wife, Famke.

This year, we’ve added some new flowers to the range and decided to rebrand to Mom Gin - same liquid, same unconditional love.

You can now choose between a tulip, a sunflower, a lily and a protea, with the option to add a handwritten note to the label, shop the full bouquet, or go all out with a thoughtfully curated Ultimate Mothers Day Bundle, featuring &

Kalahari Truffles approached us almost a year ago to collaborate with them to create South Africa’s most unique, premium truffle-infused spirits.

Only available for harvest 5 weeks a year, the elusive Kalahari Truffle has a textured, Umami flavour with floral, herbaceous notes and a subtle tannin. Because the Kalahari Truffle is so rare, only a limited number of bottles can be produced each year, with this years harvest yielding only 20kgs of dried truffle.

Pienaar & Son is the proud production partner for Kalahari Truffles we are so excited to see what the future holds for this exciting new brand!

Tiny Batch 5.0 🥃

On a warm Saturday afternoon around a fire, we came up with an idea: To create South Africa’s tiniest whisky batch, with an emphasis on quality, detail, and complexity of flavour.

In 2018, we took a chance and filled our first barrel knowing that we would only be able to reap the rewards four years later, once the spirit had matured.

In 2022, we opened the barrel to a Bourbon-style whisky that was nothing short of spectacular. Fast-forward to 2024, the 5th set of casks has just been opened, bottled, labeled, hand numbered and released into the wild.

There are only 500 bottles available per release, across both the Heavy and Medium Char variants. We hope that every sip fills you with as much warmth and joy as it does for us.
