FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes your gin unique?

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.

What flavours can I expect from your 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.

Are there cocktail recipes that pair well with your gin?

Absolutely. You can delight in our curated collection of Inverroche cocktail recipes that have been specifically designed to enhance the nuances of our gin. Find cocktail inspiration HERE
