Region: Paarl, South Africa
Composition: Eight botanicals including anise, South African rooibos, lemon, coriander, “honeybush”, almond, juniper, cardamom and Kalahari truffles.
History: The indigenous inhabitants of the Kalahari speak of secret treasures in the sand; sent in crackling bursts of power from the skies. With knowledge passed down from generation to generation, the nomadic people of the desert looked to the sky, watched the storm clouds, and set off when lightning struck, searching for delicate X-shaped cracks in the barren earth. It just so happens that these “treasures” are Nabbas; rare truffles from the Kalahari desert that sprout from the ground when fall rain and moisture cause them to swell. Rare even in their natural soil, these delights grow far away and are hard to find without the help of an expert Nabbas hunter. Cruxland is a premium gin handcrafted in small batches from grape liqueurs infused with the exotic flavor of the Kalahari truffle and 8 exclusive botanicals, unlocking unique characteristics that result in an extra smooth finish.
Tasting Notes:
A clear, fragrant liquid that is lightly tinged by the exclusive botanicals, Cruxland Gin boasts notes of fresh juniper and lemon, further enhanced by coriander and spices with an earthy character from Kalahari truffles.
