Our Gin

One flavour. Done properly.

The Karoo Prick bottle range

Distilled in small batches from a fruit that grows where nothing else bothers to. Six botanicals. No shortcuts. One extremely self-assured donkey. Bright, dry, faintly fruity, and completely unbothered by trends.

Made slowly. On purpose.

Get Some

One flavour. That's the range.

We make four. The 750ml flagship, a 500ml, a 50ml and, new this season, a 750ml Prickly Pear Candy Liqueur. That's it.

Tasting Notes

What actually happens in the glass

Written after a great deal of research, all of it enjoyable. Sweet, sharp, made with intention, just like the man and land that inspired it.

Nose

Intensely fruity: watermelon candy and fresh cactus fruit.

Palate

Not as sweet as expected. Juicy, fruity intensity that fills the palate. The prickly pear leads; the botanicals follow.

Finish

Crisp and clean.

Everything is on the label because we have nothing to hide and quite a lot to say.
