Our Process
The decision to do a cold distilling for this batch was mainly to keep the fresh ingredients intact. Taking the temperature up to just 28 degrees instead of the conventional 78 degrees Celsius ensuring that you are able to get the fresh flavours from all the botanicals. A bold move on their part as South Africa is still used to conventional distilling instead of cold distilling. But then again McKruger Spirits are made up of two odd birds with a nature to take risks and experiment with new technology.
Die Volstruis Gin - on the nose juniper, vanilla and apple that opens up after adding
a cube of ice, to the spicey wild pepper. As we respect all palates the taste will
be different for each person just like we intended. Smooth with a well balanced taste
of the botanicals blending together in unison making this an easy drinking gin filled
with freshness.
