South Africa slings back the fynbos-flavored gin

JOHANNESBURG - Last year, gin consumption in South Africa grew by an astonishing 50 percent, to half a pint for every man, woman and child. No wonder that distilleries are mushrooming, trying to give a colonial tipple a distinctive flavor of the fynbos.

From under a dozen gin distilleries in 2015, there are now around 65 nationwide, according to the Gin Box subscription club, supplying outlets from artisanal and farmers’ markets in Cape Town to the gastronomic hot spots of Johannesburg. “Our Citrus Gin gets all its citrus from the region up north in Mpumalanga,” van Wyk said. “And our Floral Gin uses hereditaranium, which is a unique South African flavor.”
