New Harbour Distillery Maroela Gin is an artisanal gin from Cape Town, South Africa, made from the skins of wild Marula fruit, which cannot be cultivated. It perfectly blends the intense juniper flavor of traditional London Dry with the unique lemony sweetness and lime-like crispness of Marula.
Made with infusions from southern Africa’s much-loved “Elephant Tree”. London Dry with an African twist.
A unique combination of six botanicals, infused with the marula fruit, and distilled in our own beautiful copper pot-stills, results in a classic London Dry but with a clear African taste profile. The result is a lemony sweetness, with a zesty lime-like freshness.
