At Inverroche, our gin is distinguished by a meticulously crafted botanical blend sourced from Stilbaai, based in the Southern tip of Africa, combined with a traditional small-batch distillation process that captures the essence of luxurious African gin.
Each of the variants in our Gin Core range – Amber, Classic, and Verdant – have their own distinct profile and nuances. But all of them boast a harmonious medley of unique botanicals indigenous to the Cape Floral Kingdom. Combined with traditional notes of juniper and citrus zest, this results in a distinct, lively yet smooth and balanced finish.
