\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out of the obscure backlands of the Free State, a country of blue skies and an abundance of sorghum, a whimsical yet serious distillery was born. Founded by the Du Plooy brothers, De Vry Distillery was created out of the desire to produce a range of 100% farm-grown spirits, including Die Soet Rooinek Cherry Gin – our local #ginofthemonth.<\/p>\n

\"Die<\/p>\n

Passion & Practice<\/h4>\n

Their range represents a blend of cultures and tastes any South African would be proud of. Just like joining in on an after-school sport just for gags only to find out you’re really good at it, De Vry Distillery started as a fun initiative that soon became a meticulously crafted and truly authentic local distillery.<\/p>\n

Production always starts with the best local grain, and farm fresh ingredients. This philosophy allows De Vry the freedom to create spirits that play with local flavours and carry a sense of character.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Die<\/p>\n

Proudly South African Flavour<\/h4>\n

De Vry Distillery was founded on a solid foundation of love for our country and culture. As a proudly local brand, they use South African flavours to create unique quality products. Housed in an old milking shed, right in the heart of the Free State – an area renowned for sorghum cultivation – they\u2019re inspired and influenced by the location.<\/p>\n

Going Against the Grain<\/h4>\n

Free State sorghum is used to create an “all grain base”; this allows for a taste unique and differentiated from their competitors.<\/p>\n

Their grain goes through a process of milling, mashing, and fermentation and they use carefully curated yeast strains to create and complement the different flavours.<\/p>\n

Free from the shackles of convention, De Vry offers three ranges each distinct in flavour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Die<\/p>\n

Die Soet Rooinek Cherry Gin<\/h4>\n

This seasonal gin is made with cherries harvested in Ceres. Handpicked and gently crushed, the cherries are then macerated in dry gin before being filtered and bottled.<\/p>\n

Die Soet Rooinek Cherry Gin bursts with the flavour of ripe fruits, almonds and spices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This slightly fruity, dry gin makes the perfect cocktail. Served best with tonic, a dash of lemonade, mint and garnished with a preserved cherry.<\/p>\n
