Product Information

When you visit the Inverroche Gin School, based at the sprawling Indaba Hotel in Fourways, you will find it's this word 'botanicals' that comes up a lot. Alongside other lingo like 'heads', 'stills', 'foreshot' and 'compounds'. Not to mention the various new herbs and spices, such as cancerbush and kooigoed, that will cross your palate as you learn the alchemy of gin distilling.

The personally hand-labelled bottle of Craft Gin is a journey in itself to be embarked on at your own leisure with friends, family or colleagues. In it will be all the ingredients and botanicals that you selected and carefully infused, and with it you will carry a glorious selection of memories and stories of unique diversity and a journey well worth the effort. The very first part of spirit (known as 'the heads') is essentially poison that has a power to "paralyse you and make you go blind" we were told. This was swiftly and safely discarded before we'd even contemplated the mistakes one could make. A neat reminder that you shouldn't really be trying this straight up at home without a little prior education.

Sharing a few laughs with your new friends over some canapés and a glass of tasty Inverroche Gin is what sets this experience apart from any others. In the 20th Century this complex juniper-based spirit somehow fell out of fashion, before suddenly in the 21st Century undergoing a major global revival, led by inventive craft distillers who reclaimed the drink and began tinkering with the various botanicals that make different gins so distinctive. The Inverroche Gin Academy at the Four SeasonsHotel TheWestcliff, in Johannesburg, is open Wednesday and Sunday. There are two sessions per day: One from 10:30 to 13:30 and another from 16:30 to 19:30.First developed by mediaeval monks in Holland as a medicinal tonic, gin has gone through some serious evolution over the past millennium. The spirit became most infamous in 18th Century England when the often toxic concoction known as 'mother's ruin' became the drunk's drink of choice, before gaining a somewhat misplaced notoriety among colonialists for deterring mosquitos.
