A Mari, made by Hope Distillery, represents the art of gin-making in South Africa. Based in Cape Town, this distillery is known for excellent spirits with a distinctly local touch. A Mari, meaning "from the sea" in Latin, celebrates Cape Peninsula's coastal beauty and marine influence.
The uniqueness of A Mari Spirits comes from using local Cape botanicals. They handpick plants like the rare Agulhas fynbos and rooibos, as well as kelp from South Africa's coasts. This gives their gins a true Cape flavour.
The brand has a range of distinct gins. The Atlantic Ocean Gin mixes coastal plants for a fresh, seaside flavour. The Indian Ocean Gin combines traditional gin plants with Indian Ocean spices, offering a complex, herbal taste.
Each bottle shows a focus on quality. This includes their carefully selected botanicals. They mix these botanicals with pure water from the Table Mountain Aquifer. This makes their gin as refined as the landscape in which they’re made.
Enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or with tonic, A Mari’s range honours South Africa's rich nature and coasts. It's a blend of tradition and new ideas, mixing British gin-making skills with Cape Peninsula's unique features. A Mari Spirits truly reflects the gin-making art, its origins, and South African skill.
