The Capital Distillery

09/05/2024

So I am left with no other option but to start a new one. Absolutely gutted. 

We have been lucky this last while to have replicate posts from Instagram be posted to this page but we need to manage the page. I have been unable to respond to messages, comments etc and it’s driving me nuts! 

We have been appealing to Facebook, but after 10 months of no communication from them, I now have to move forward. It is such a sad situation as we’ll lose all our guest posts, reviews and all round good times. I’m hoping we can do more sooner, rather than later.

I would like to ask you all to please ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ this new page far and wide with all that you know so that we can get back to having fun on this platform.

Our new page is: https://web.facebook.com/people/The-Capital-Distillery-SA/61557854491903/

Thank you to our loyal followers and fans, I’m looking forward to connecting with you again on Facebook.

Cheers and regards,

Kelly

Fantastic Farewell 💫
Last week I bid farewell to with a delicious gin and food pairing.

The restaurant was over sold out and it just lit me up! They didn't want to see me to go.

So absolutely grateful for the support for my small business and the delicious spirits I am creating❤️

The pairing was as follows:
Alchemist with satay chicken skewers
Indigo with lamb and mint yogurt sauce
Pink Lady with a lemon and thyme curd tart 👌🏼

Thank you to the whole team for a really fantastic partnership. From the get go the team was intrigued, involved and invested! Thank you 🙏🏼
Looking forward to the next one!

Loveliest birthday present!!! 🍸
A cheerful family came to the distillery on the weekend to blend their own bottle of gin and paint some crystal glasses, because, this is now the standard. Your own gin in your own glass 👌🏼👌🏼

Its the social aspect of these experiences that make me light up. The big smiles, hugs, giggles, laughter, jokes and love just set my soul on fire. Thanks to these lovely ladies for spending their quality time with me... And Scotch 🐶❤️

This is what its all about!

A few months back I had the privilege and opportunity to travel around our beautiful South Africa. Just me and my little girl Scotch

I started at Gariep Dam, over the Orange river, down to Graaff Reinet, George and then Wilderness. All looking beautiful, green, clean and the people are so welcoming.

My last coastal stop was JBay. Jeffrey's Bay is a feeling. Its been close to my heart since I was a little girl and it still gives me the air I need to breathe. I also met some amazing new people, made lifetime friends and even chilled with some surfing legends 🏄

I finished the trip on the Orange river. Did we swim in it? Certainly! Also one of the lifeblood arteries for our farmers so its especially intriguing to me.

I needed to do this trip, my body was telling me so. And I'm so glad I did. I saw that there's hope, love and beauty in our country still. What's the saying, 'Where there's smoke, there's fire'. Well I'm certain the lovely people I came across still have a little flame burning inside. Its easy to get down and out but sometimes you just need a change in management.

May the beautiful people of South Africa realise that they deserve better 🇿🇦

*Appreciation Post*
Just a thank you to the team from for the beautiful venue in Rustenberg and great feedback and compliments on my products. I hosted a small tasting for a corporate client a few weeks ago. The guests were great and very social, curious about the process and very appreciative of the spirits. It was a beautiful evening!

May we all move onwards and upwards! Thank you 🙏🏼
