Pienaar & Son is a small craft distillery located in the silo district of Cape Town Harbour. Nestled next to the water’s edge the tiny distillery goes about its business finding fresh ways of creating and introducing people to quality, modern spirits. Although they more than appreciate traditional methods and the history of distillation, the notion that ‘older is better’ could not be further from our opinionated truth.
Their master distiller just entered his 30s, all their equipment is newly hand-built locally, and their processes are based off cutting-edge nerdy engineering principles developed by the chemical engineering brains behind the operation. A father with more than 40 years of distilling technology experience and his stubborn son, hand crafting spirits with science and art, they believe in starting traditions, not following them. Join Andre Pienaar for a tasting of their offerings, and the stories behind them.
