Botanical spirits born from the soul of the land.
Inspired by the rugged beauty and resilient flora of South Africa’s Karoo region, this range of small-batch gins captures the essence of place — dry winds, wild herbs, stony soil, and soft blooms that emerge after the rains. Each gin is a tribute to a different face of this semi-arid yet soul-rich landscape.
Born in the vast, rugged landscapes of the South African Karoo, Karoo Botanicals is a gin that captures the wild spirit of its origin. Crafted with hand-foraged botanicals found only in this arid yet thriving ecosystem, it delivers a dry, herbal flavour profile layered with earthy notes and subtle spice. Every sip reflects the resilience and raw beauty of the land - untamed, pure, and unmistakably South African. Karoo Botanicals is more than a gin; it’s an invitation to experience the wilderness in a glass.

Sun-ripened Cape lemons, naartjie peel, and grapefruit bring a vibrant citrus burst to Karoo Citrus Gin. Balanced with honeybush and a smooth juniper backbone, this expression captures the brightness and energy of South Africa in every pour. Zesty, aromatic, and full of sunshine, it’s the gin of long afternoons, golden evenings, and summer cocktails that linger long into the night.

Karoo Bloom Gin celebrates the fragile yet resilient flowers that bloom across the Karoo after rare rains. With buchu, rose geranium, and chamomile leading the way, it’s a delicate and aromatic expression that leans into elegance. Floral and lightly herbal, it’s a favourite among bartenders for crafting floral-forward cocktails, but equally beautiful with elderflower tonic and a simple garnish. This is the softer, more romantic side of the Karoo — captured in a glass.
ABV: 43%
-
Buchu, rose geranium, chamomile, pelargonium, lemon verbena
-
Soft and perfumed, with hints of tea rose and herbal freshness

Smoky, spiced, and warming, Karoo Ember Gin brings together rooibos, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and African pepper for a bold, fiery character.
