ExploreIn this section we will share insider info and facts on everything we think you may find relevant and interesting… Like every good virgin our VerGin is also shrouded in a little mystery…but this month we share some secrets… So, what is VerGin really?Well, let’s start with what it’s not.
It’s not a premix. It’s not a blended, artificially sweetened or flavoured water or tonic with bubbles either. VerGin is South Africa’s FIRST, Non-alcoholic, Distilled, Organic Botanical Spirit with a distinct Juniper taste. It looks like a gin. It is served like a gin. It makes the perfect non-alcoholic “G&T” ...without any naughty additives, artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours - 0% sugar, 0% Alcohol. It gives people who are not drinking alcohol, for whatever reason, a sophisticated, complex, healthy alternative. VerGin is poised to disrupt the way consumers think about adult non-alcoholic beverages. Pure guilt-free pleasure! Can you call it a Gin if it doesn’t have any alcohol?Well, Gin is a distilled alcoholic spirit with a distinct Juniper taste...VerGin is a distilled non-alcoholic spirit with a distinct Juniper taste. Just like Gin it mixes perfectly with tonic and is ideal for use in a variety of cocktails. So, we won’t call it Gin on the label but we will say that it tastes like one...without the alcohol.
And the taste?Bloom is named after its beautiful rose-scented floral flavour profile, reminiscent of Turkish Delight. The lingering spiciness can be attributed to the addition of some more exotic seeds, spices, barks and petals with a burst of freshness from Lemon peel. This refined and complex blend of distilled organic botanicals glows with a pretty Hibiscus blush and includes just the right amount of Juniper Berries to give it a real “Gin kick”.
Limón has a vibrant green citrus flavor profile with abundant Lemon and Lime notes. Distilled together with hand-harvested Organic Botanicals, exotic roots, barks, seeds and spices underpinned by Juniper that gives it a soft spicy edge and a distinctly gin-like complexity. This is pure Lemon and Lime bliss! Serve 25ml with premium tonic and garnish to your heart’s delight. |

InspireIn future editions this section will be dedicated to our “Seven Questions” series where we interview some of the coolest people we know. This month we will share a little bit about our company and our products.
Why is your flagship product called VerGin?The “VER” was derived from Vermont, the Hermanus suburb where the founders of the Vermont Gin Company met as neighbours. It also plays on the pure, clean, non-alcoholic “virginal” attributes of this non-alcoholic distilled spirit and the Juniper base provides the “gin” reference. So, it is a “virgin” “gin” from Vermont. Where are your products made?The VerGinSA Head Office has a view of the Atlantic Ocean on the one side and the Overberg mountains on the other (lucky us) but the botanicals for our products are grown, hand-picked, distilled and bottled on an organically certified farm... Drive up the Hemel-en-Aarde valley…if you get to Caledon you missed the turn-off.
Just kidding, we were not really going to tell you. It’s a secret! |
