Six Dogs Distillery is an innovative craft gin distillery located in the little valley of De Wet, near the edge of the Karoo in South Africa. The distillery is known for its small batch, handcrafted gins that are distilled using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The founders, Charles Bryant and his team, began their distillery journey with a makeshift still in a shed, and have since developed a range of unique gins that include Six Dogs Karoo, Blue, and Pinotage Stained, as well as Honey Lime Gin. These gins incorporate local botanicals and are celebrated for their distinctive flavours and high quality.
Six Dogs Blue Gin captivates with its aromatic and flavour-rich profile, starting with a nose that introduces freshly cut lucerne and rose pelargonium, creating a floral and inviting aroma. The palate continues this floral theme, enhanced with herbaceous coriander and sharp, tangy notes of mandarin, which add a refreshing citrus zest to the overall taste. This gin finishes with persistent floral notes, leaving a pleasing and aromatic aftertaste that lingers delightfully. The gin's transformative visual element, changing from blue to pink when mixed with tonic, adds an extra layer of enjoyment, making Six Dogs Blue Gin not only a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes.
