Bloedlemoen (pronounced ‘Blue’d Le Moon’) is a South African gin crafted from the luscious Tarocco Blood Orange locally sourced from grower partners in the Western Cape. It holds the distinction of being the first blood orange gin in the world! Conceived in 2015 by three food and drink industry specialists (Sommelier Pierre Strydom, Chef Mike Jones, and wine maker Stefan Coetzee), this award-winning gin aims to be refreshing and delicious, with a layered warmth from selected spices. Stylistically, Bloedlemoen is a contemporary, London Dry gin distilled using botanicals through a blend of maceration and vapor infusion. The result is a premium, small batch spirit that maintains exceptional quality and consistency. It features ten natural botanicals all sourced from Western Cape farms: juniper, blood orange, orange peel, grains of paradise, coriander, cassia bark, nutmeg, liquorice root, angelica root, and cardamom. The line consists of a regular gin and an amber gin, the latter of which gets its color and flavor from local fynbos and honeybush.
