Make your own Gin!

To summarize from its earliest origins in the Middle Ages. The drink has evolved from herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Gin emerged in England after the introduction of the jenever. A Dutch and Belgian liquor which originally had been a medicine. Although this development had been taking place since the early 17th century. Gin became widespread after the William of Orange-led 1688 Glorious Revolution and subsequent import restrictions on French brandy.

Because the mixture and blends of botanicals and their flavors are generally closely guarded family secrets! Ketelkraal is here to save the day with sharing our combinations with you. It should be noted that not only the botanicals that you choose that make a signature distillate but also the way they react to each other. Significantly this has an enormous impact on your end product. However we suggest you create your own by experimenting with simple combinations and work with a more complex blend as you gain experience.
