Their authentic and superior spirits are handcrafted in small batches using a combination of modern innovative and experimental distilling techniques.
According to master distiller, Nic Janeke, “When you find the right combination of art, science and chemistry, you see an opportunity to do something exceptional, a chance to create something as unique as the South African landscape. Vodka and Gin is something you can put your own stamp on and be as imaginative as you want to be. At New Harbour Distillery we follow a strict carbon neutral philosophy. This means all our by-products are recycled and reused in our distillery and greenhouse, and supplied to city farms as fertiliser, animal feed and general cleaner. In return we source fresh and natural ingredients for our Vodka infusions and Gin selections from these organic farms and suppliers as well as grow our own fresh natural ingredients on site with a hydroponic greenhouse.”
New Harbour Distillery currently sells Natural Copper Catalysed Vodka, specifically crafted to have a pristine palatable flavour; Spekboom Gin, produced using only the best grain neutral spirit and with a technique called vapour infusion to increase the fine delicate oral lavender and pine notes; and Rooibos Infused Gin, produced using only the best cane neutral spirit.
They also produce a range of different gins and vodkas at a commercial level as well as for gifts, events, and other special occasions.
