Distillation and production

Production method

Produced on a neutral grape-based spirit, the recipe calls for double distillation in copper pot stills for most botanicals; the truffle is treated/distilled separately and the two distillates are then blended and cut with water to bottling strength (43% ABV).

Distillation

Double distillation in copper pot stills for the botanical mix; the truffle (Kalahari or black truffle in the variant) is distilled separately and the final distillate is the result of blending and reduction to 43% ABV.

Ageing

Unaged (product not matured in casks).

Producer history Cruxland

Cruxland was created as a gin line developed and marketed by the KWV group. The project highlights local botanicals and ingredients such as the Kalahari truffle; over time KWV expanded the range with variants that also include Périgord-type black truffles cultivated in some areas of South Africa.

Production philosophy

To tell the South African territory through a gin that combines local botanicals (e.g. rooibos, honeybush) with the distinctive element of truffle, seeking a balance between the London Dry tradition and Mediterranean/African notes.

Territory

South Africa; production is entrusted to the KWV team with blending and distillation activities at KWV facilities in Paarl. Organoleptic inspiration comes from the Kalahari region and the botanicals of the Western Cape.

Awards and recognitions
