The Trophy Room
Every medal here was won against the best in the world, and we were there to catch them.
Won against the world's best
A selection of our medals, year by year, from the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, the SA Craft Gin & Craft Spirits Awards, and KFM's Best of the Cape, among others.
The night our vodka beat the world
28 international judges from 20 countries. Every vodka in the competition. One trophy, and it went to a grape-based vodka from the Elgin Valley, handcrafted with mountain spring water by a father-and-son team.
Platinum in its first year
A Michelangelo Platinum medal means 96+ points, the top 1% of every entry on the African continent. Roxi's Botanical Gin, developed and distilled in our stillhouse as a contract creation, took Platinum in its inaugural year. Proof that the brands we craft for clients compete with the best on earth.
A family habit
Alter Schwede, Blomendahl Gin, Apple Liqueur, Vodka, the Ntu gins, Gold and Double Gold at Michelangelo and the SA Craft Gin Awards year after year. In 2025 the newest legends joined the shelf: Valhalla Elixir and Ben Hur Spiced Rum, Gold at Michelangelo, plus KFM Best of the Cape Silver for Best Local Craft Spirit.
