As the name suggests this flavour is where our humble journey first began.

​

Apart from the lovely floral flavour you’d expect from a quality gin, there’s also a rare, uniquely Sugarbird citrus twang and hint of Cape fynbos.

We’ve taken gin back to its roots.

This is Africa’s first unfiltered gin and celebrates the vibrant purple of female Juniper cones.

This showstopper celebrates South Africa’s

most famous botanicals.

Pinotage, a local grape varietal, adds vibrant colour, while

Pelargonium, Fynbos known globally as Rose Geranium, adds a sweet, floral flavour.

Introducing our very own Sugarbird XO brandy. Naturally, we have to source and buy-in liquid that was distilled long ago and has since been being aged in oak barrels. We filter this aged liquid through honeybush and other fynbos botanicals, but otherwise every drop is pure pot-still brandy that is 14 years old.

We are proud to add this quality liquid to the Sugarbird stable.

Typical of the processes that define the Jamaican style, our rum speaks of bourbon, coffee and cocoa flavours overlaid with hints of nuttiness, resulting from the long ageing process. Finally there is the addition of fynbos honey which imparts an even nuttier and greater silky finish. Sugarbird Cape Fynbos Rum is one the smoothest craft rums around - ideal for sipping over ice.

Who can resist this cute as a button frosted bottle Glitter Gin!? Inspired by our vintage gin brand, @leanonmegin we’ve crafted a classic yet traditional, Christmas themed Cape dry gin with magical sparkles. Lean on Me has already accrued 2 awards since her launch in September 2021. We crafted this sweet little gin in ‘lockdown’ to remind us of the good times, the better times to come and the friends we all need to help us carry on, because we all need somebody to Lean on.

So, as Sugarbird we are delighted to be innovating once again in this new space by producing a showcase of 12 minis of some of SA’s very best brandies. We are selling this Sugarbird & Friends collaborative showcase into broad- appeal retail across SA and abroad, such that people are now able to sample some of the all-time great single barrel brandies, which had previously only been available at the wine estate’s cellar door.
