Product Features
Blue
- The infusion of blue pea gives the gin its striking and entirely natural colour, while the alchemy of this unusual botanical is further revealed when the gin is mixed with a good tonic, changing the colour to light pink.
- The first blue gin to be launched in South Africa, Six Dogs Blue is a classic dry gin with a slightly floral character, with hints of freshly-cut lucerne over hand-picked and morning-harvested rose pelargonium.
- Alcohol by volume: 43%
Karoo
- This gin is a delicate and balanced Gin of twelve select botanicals, distilled and bottled by us at Six Dogs Distillery.
- Its distinguishing botanicals are grown on our farm, which intersects three different bioregions including the Succulent Karoo.
- It is from here that we gather the Karoo Thorn flower and Wild Lavender that make our Gin unique amongst all the Gins in the world.
- Sip it and you will pick up the paired notes of Juniper and Wild Lavender that introduce the Karoo. What follows is a fresh medley of citrus including Limes, Mandarins and farm-grown Lemon Buchu. Cassia, Chamomile and Angelica bind the heart of the Gin while the delicate flower of the Acacia Thorn adds a top note of soft sweetness.
- Six Dogs is best enjoyed as is, over ice and with a good tonic. It needs no garnish!
- Alcohol by volume: 43%
Honey Lime
- Six Dogs Honey Lime is the inevitable result of a sustainability project that began when South African bee conservation company, Bee Smiths, approached us to relocate rescued bees to the farm where our distillery is situated.
- While our six dogs soon learnt to keep a respectful distance from the hives, we learnt that the combination of farm honey and home-grown limes, when blended with the finest botanical spirit, proved irresistible.
- Sip it and you will taste a subtle sweetness that cuts through the zestiness of the limes.
- Six Dogs Honey Lime is best enjoyed with ice and a good Indian tonic on a hot summer’s day.
- Alcohol by volume: 43%
Pinotage Stained
- This gin embodies the freshness of a classic dry gin that is enhanced with the infusion of a uniquely South African cultivar.
- Sip it and you’ll taste notes of black cherry, plum and blackcurrant, with some tannin for structure and complexity.
- Each year’s harvest of grapes may bring subtle variants in taste and colour, however, the juniper-forward flavour is consistent with each batch.
- Alcohol by volume: 43%
