Wild Africa Cream
This one is packed full of fresh cream, and caramel. Inspired by the animal Leopards, it is blended to perfection to give that thick, velvety taste.
Cruxland Gin
Described as a boutique brand according to thespiritsbusinesse.com, the rustic spirit it is made from a range of ingredients including honeybush tea, coriander, rooibos, aniseed, cardamom, and almonds, creating an extra smooth finish, fresh from the Kalahari truffles.
“We wanted to create a special gin with botanicals typical to South Africa and knew we needed a special ingredient to complement the flavours of the other botanicals,” said master distiller Pieter de Bod.
