Two Gingers Gin is a craft gin brand from Muizenberg, Cape Town, founded by Simon Cranswick and Wynand de Vries. The brand name, "Two Gingers," reflects the founders' shared red-haired ("ginger") characteristic, adding a personal touch to the brand's identity. The distillery, known as Gember Distillery, emphasizes producing flavorful gins that can be enjoyed without the need for additional flavorings like flavored tonics or excessive garnishes.
Two Gingers Spice Route Gin captivates with its vibrant and aromatic profile. The nose is rich with bold spice botanicals, which are beautifully complemented by a fresh burst of sweet orange peel, creating a warm and inviting aroma. As you sip, the palate unfolds with nutty notes from grains of paradise that add a savoury depth, while the sweet orange peel provides a consistent citrusy undertone, enhancing the gin’s complexity. The finish is refreshing and enduring, leaving a pleasant spiciness mingled with citrus that lingers long after the drink is gone. This gin, part of the distillery's Four Seasons Collection, is especially enjoyable in autumn, offering a robust and evolving flavour experience that is both bold and balanced.
