Let’s set the record straight: we don’t make the gin ourselves – Benedikt Blomendahl does. And he’s really good at it.
He runs Blomendahl, an award-winning artisanal winery and distillery in the Elgin Valley, Cape Town. Every batch is crafted with top-shelf ingredients, pure mountain spring water, and a serious piece of kit – a custom 1000L copper potstill.
Started distilling at 18. Racks up awards. Obsessed with quality. Basically, the kind of guy you want making your gin.
We gave it the bold name. He gave it the flavour.
