Distilled from neutral grain spirit made from South African maize, the gin is infused with botanicals selected to reflect warm spice, citrus and aromatic intensity. Rather than pursuing a traditional London Dry profile, Pienaar \u0026amp; Son leans into a more expressive and modern style, balancing fiery spice with softer citrus and vanilla notes for a gin that feels distinctive, layered and unmistakably Cape Town in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003eCrystal clear and bright in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1387\"\u003eIntense aromas of mandarin orange, citrus peel and warming spice rise immediately from the glass.
