About Flowstone Gin

Flowstone Distillery is a South African gin distillery based in what is considered the cradle of humankind, where it's believed the human race originated and spread from to the rest of the world. The idea for Flowstone Gin arose over a gin made with wild cucumbers, and the distillery's name is inspired by the rock formations that help define the area. The botanicals used by the distillery come from the local area, and for newcomers it's an exciting, geographically rooted entry into South African gin, while connoisseurs will appreciate the distinct wilderness character that sets Flowstone apart from more classic European gin styles.

History & Background

Flowstone Distillery was established in South Africa, in an area recognized as one of the most important archaeological sites for early human development, something the distillery actively draws on as part of its story. The name Flowstone comes from the geological rock formations shaped over millennia by mineral deposits in the area's caves, visually defining the landscape. By sourcing botanicals from the local area, the distillery has created a gin that deliberately tries to capture the unique, original character of the place.

Production & Style

Local botanicals from the South African landscape are distilled alongside juniper, with a focus on capturing the taste of the South African wilderness in every glass.

Signature Style

Wild, South African, Nature-driven
Fresh juniper meets wild, local botanicals, in a profile deliberately celebrating South African nature and wilderness.
