The General's Gin

THE STORY

THE GIN

The gin is handcrafted and batch distilled in an old copper kettle. Infused with 7 different botanicals, it brings a beautifully balanced palate with fresh notes of lemon zest and candied orange peel, pine needles and black pepper followed by earthy characters of fennel, dill, buchu and vanilla. All this is carried perfectly by the juniper, the signature gin botanical.

A tribute to the brave South African General, known as Little Tim, who led his troops through the Battle of Passchendaele during the First World War (Belgium 1917). This authentically South African gin with unique South African botanicals, distilled in an old copper pot, celebrates the strength and agility of The General.

An authentic gin with South African botanicals that truly captures the diversity of the country’s rich fynbos.
