Crafting Excellence:
Our Distinctive Creative Process
At Momela Spirits, our commitment to crafting exceptional gin begins at the very foundation — the creation of our in-house neutral spirit. We firmly believe that the quality of the gin is intrinsically linked to the purity of the spirit, and that's why we meticulously oversee every step, from raw material selection through fermentation to the final distillation.
Neutral Spirit
Employing a state-of-the-art stainless steel column still, we have full control over the distillation process, ensuring an exceptionally clean and refined neutral spirit. This level of control allows us to regulate the off-take from the still and make precise cuts during distillation. The result? A foundation for our gin that is unparalleled in its clarity and purity.
Botanical Selection
The second phase of our creative journey focuses on botanical selection, a process that defines the very essence of our recipes. Nestled in the unique semi-arid landscape of Gaborone, Botswana, we draw inspiration from the indigenous botanicals that thrive here. Uniting local elements that are exclusive to our region, we carefully assemble a harmonious recipe, deciding on the quantities and interplay of each botanical to create a gin that is uniquely ours.
Distillation
Finally, the culmination of our creative process takes place during distillation. With an acute focus on the unique characteristics of each botanical, we guide the distillation process to accentuate desired flavors — be it the bloom of florals, the richness of earthiness, or a perfectly balanced combination of the two.
Blending & Dilution
Our commitment to sustainability extends to the water we use to proof down our gin. Sourced locally and delicately filtered to preserve its unique character, this water completes the final touch, ensuring that every sip of Momela Spirits is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of Botswana. Welcome to a gin experience that transcends tradition and embraces the essence of our extraordinary landscape.
