This boutique distillery in Makers Landing produces gin, vodka, and whisky with a focus on local sourcing and sustainable practices. “Choosing clever materials and sourcing them locally makes our sustainability journey both achievable and enjoyable,” says master distiller Andre Pienaar. The “Ugly Gin” brand epitomises their innovative approach, using reclaimed materials and recyclable cans to challenge consumer perceptions and highlight their commitment to sustainability.
“We combined fun with a challenge to customers’ views by using the cheapest bottles, repurposed off-cuts, and hand-stamped labels. It was about getting our consumers to ask themselves what matters the most, the bottle or the liquid. This approach has resonated well with our customers, making it our best-seller.”
