Description

The gin, made by wine and spirits producerKWV is a botanically unique affair, even in this day and age. Made on a grape base and withKalahari trufflesin the mix,Cruxland Ginwas inspired by a tripKWV’sBrandy Master (hows that for a job title) took to the Kalahari desert. There, he stumbled upon the fungus and decided it would probably work well in a gin.

TheKalahari truffleis as rare and exotic as it is aesthetically displeasing. It can only be found at certain times of the year, when rain causes it to swell, creating tell-tale (to experts only) cross shaped cracks in the ground surrounding it.
