Distilleries in South Africa

There are 88 distilleries, tasting rooms, and spirit producers in South Africa on the Distillery Map. Brandy is the backbone, and the rules are stricter than most drinkers expect — potstill brandy here must be copper-pot distilled and aged at least three years in oak. The Western Cape wine industry feeds it, which is why the distilleries cluster where the vineyards do. Rougher traditions sit underneath: witblits and mampoer, unaged grape and fruit spirits made on farms long before anyone thought to regulate them. Gin and whisky producers account for most of the newer names here.
