Hope Distillery, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a pioneer in the craft spirits industry. Established in 2014 by Lucy Beard and Leigh Lisk, two former lawyers from London, the distillery was the first licensed small-batch distillery in Cape Town. It initially focused solely on producing gin but has since expanded its offerings to include small batch vodka, agave spirit, and rhum agricole, alongside a diverse range of gins.
The gin features a distinctive blend of botanicals including olives, fresh basil, and Mediterranean herbs which contribute to its unique profile.

Palate:
The taste is complex, layering flavors of olives and herbs that provide a rich, savory experience.
Finish:
It leaves a lingering savory complexity with a fresh basil finish that enhances its Mediterranean character.
