Inverroche Gin

Inverroche are the proud pioneers of South African craft gin, growing from strength to strength in the local community of Still Bay in the Western Cape of Southern Africa. Their three distinct gins are crafted using only a handful of the 9,000 Fynbos botanicals that they hand pick from the dunes of the Western cape.

In just 6 years, their distillery has grown from a small home industry to a flourishing and pioneering craft distillery. Their gins have gone international, sold in over 15 countries globally yet our dedication to their community and production of world class gins and spirits has not changed.

Distilling gin is a time-honoured tradition and the diversity of the spirit is not to be underestimated. But, few gins around the world are made with such unique ingredients, depth of flavour and uncompromising commitment to sustainability as those made at our Inverroche Distillery in Still Bay – it’s a kind of African Alchemy.

Over a period of three years Lorna sat at that kitchen table with her son Rohan and, through trial and error, developed the range of Inverroche Gins that you can enjoy today. It wasn’t just the ingredients that they experimented with, but also the method.

This eventually lead to them developing their own proprietary process whereby they charge the pot still with their base spirit and then layer the selected botanicals into specially designed steam baskets within the pot still.

Adding the fynbos in this manner allows the gently heated spirit vapour to extract the aromatic oils from the botanicals before collecting in the helm and traveling down the condenser – the result is a subtle, yet complex spirit infused with layers of exceptional flavours and unique aromas.
