WHALETALE WHISKY Distilled on 14/05/2018, matured to perfection for the refined whisky enthusiast. Nestled in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela, lies the world-famous “Hole in the Wall.” Known as esiKhaleni by the Xhosa people, meaning “place of noise,” the “Hole in the Wall’ is a tidal island with a magnificent natural archway at its center. This colossal archway is believed by many to have been sculpted by ferocious waves created by whales in the local area. According to Xhosa folklore, the “Hole in the Wall” is far more than a geological wonder, it is revered as a sacred gateway to their ancestors. Much like the waves that shaped the “Hole in the Wall,” Whale Tale Whisky is crafted with patience and purpose. Sip slowly, and savour the stories that bind us across time and tide. WHALETALE XO POTSTILL CAPE BRANDY Distilled on 26/06/2014, a masterfully aged XO Potstill brandy. In the 1930s, the quiet fishing town of Hermanus in South Africa witnessed an extraordinary event in which a lone southern right whale, later named Wendy, became stranded on the town’s shore. The local community came together to guide her back to the ocean. Grateful for their kindness, Wendy returned each year from Antarctica to the same cove where she had been rescued, often with her calves by her side. Her visits became such a popular spectacle that it inspired the creation of the annual Hermanus Whale Festival, one of the world’s premier whale watching events. Much like Wendy’s return to Hermanus, Whale Tale Brandy is a tribute to the enduring bonds that stand the test of time. So raise a glass to her legacy and the stories that bring us closer.

ViewHoodoo Rum has a beautiful citrus aroma with hints of orange and marula. It is then beautifully brought together with sweeter aspects such as caramel, vanilla, coconut and honey. Hoodoo is then aged using french oak, resulting in a very smooth lingering finish. Hoodoo is a sipping rum and is therefore meant to be drunk on the rocks, however it mixes extremely well with the likes of Coke and Ginger Ale, and is incredible in various cocktails. Hoodoo won the Gold Award at the 2021 Michelangelo International Wine and Spirits Awards. African Craft also won the 2020 WineMag’s Label Design People’s Choice Award.
