Nose
Juniper balanced with honeyed sweetness — herbal fynbos notes unlike any European botanical, subtle citrus, hints of warm spice, genuinely unlike any other gin
Palate
Smooth and full-bodied — layers of complexity where traditional gin botanicals meet the Cape Floral Kingdom, honey and herbs, gentle spice, earthy undertones that evolve beautifully, the coastal fynbos adding a quality that defies easy description
Finish
Warming and sophisticated with lingering botanical notes — pleasant sweetness, the fynbos character persisting, golden and smooth, exceptional sipped neat or over ice
Expert Review
8/10Founded in 2012 by Lorna Scott and her children Rohan and Lauren in Stilbaai, Western Cape — the first gin distilled with fynbos, the unique vegetation of the Cape Floral Kingdom that grows nowhere else on Earth. Amber uses 20-30 coastal fynbos varieties vapour-infused during distillation, then further infused post-distillation for its golden colour. 70% of staff are women from the local community. Pernod Ricard's first wholly owned African spirit brand.
