Mossel Bay, South Africa is home to Posboom Distillers, a craft distillery that has made a name for itself in the world of spirits. The distillery is named after the iconic post tree of Mossel Bay, a tree that has been a part of the town's history for centuries.
Posboom Distillers was founded in 2016 by a Pieter van der Walt who shared a passion for craft spirits. The distillery started with just a few small batches of gin, but quickly grew to include a range of award-winning spirits and craft liqueurs.
The team at Posboom Distillers are dedicated to creating high-quality, handcrafted spirits using locally sourced ingredients. They believe that the key to making great spirits is to start with the best possible ingredients, and to treat those ingredients with care and respect. One of the distillery's flagship products is their craft gin. Made using a blend of botanicals that are sourced from the surrounding fynbos, each batch of gin is carefully crafted to ensure a smooth, balanced flavor profile. The gin has won numerous awards, including a gold medal at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards.
In addition to their gin, Posboom Distillers also produces a range of craft liqueurs. These include a delicious coffee liqueur, a refreshing orange liqueur, and a "soon to be launched" rich chocolatey liqueur that is perfect for after-dinner sipping. The distillery is housed in a historic building in the heart of Mossel Bay.
The team at Posboom Distillers are always happy to share their knowledge and passion for craft spirits with visitors and is offering tastings in conjunction with the Oyster Bar next to the Harbor.
At Posboom Distillers, the focus is on creating high-quality, handcrafted spirits that reflect the unique flavors and character of the South African landscape. With a commitment to using locally sourced ingredients and a dedication to the craft of distilling, Posboom Distillers is a true gem in the world of craft spirits.
