Cruxland Gin, from the noted South African winemakers KWV, is a London Dry style gin crafted using botanicals unique to the region. Kalahari Truffles, the signature botanical used and known locally as !N'abbas, can only be found by experienced truffle hunters after it rains, when the truffles swell up and create a distinctive cross shaped crack in the ground giving away their location. This cross in the land is where the gin derives its name from. The gin is double distilled from grapes with two other South African botanicals, Rooibos and Honeybush, which compliment the truffle to give Cruxland gin a distinctive South African flair. This is in addition to 6 other traditional London Dry gin botanicals: juniper, coriander, cardamom, lemon, almond and aniseed. Finally, it is cold filtered for exceptional smoothness. KWV recommend it is served neat over a block of ice, but will naturally work well in the classic G&T or any other gin cocktail. |
