Product History
KWV Cruxland Gin is produced by KWV, a South African distillery with a rich heritage dating back to 1918. The brand is renowned for its innovation and quality, which is clearly reflected in this gin. The use of black winter truffles, a highly sought-after ingredient, is a testament to the brand’s dedication to creating distinctive and high-quality spirits.
The gin is distilled using a double-distillation process, ensuring that all the flavours of the botanicals are perfectly preserved. The discovery of the Kalahari truffle was a major milestone for KWV, and it became the inspiration for this unique gin.
