Description

Blackwood Spirits Gin is a nano‑distillery based in Hout Bay, Cape Town, where true small‑batch craft and hands‑on passion define every bottle. Founded by husband‑and‑wife team Helene and Guido Zsilavecz, Blackwood operates from a converted home storeroom, with every step—from sourcing local botanicals (including hand‑harvested kelp) to distilling, bottling and labelling—done entirely by hand. Inspired by old‑world European distilling traditions and a deep connection to the ocean, the range includes London Dry Gin, Cape Kelp Gin, grappa‑style husk spirits and artisanal liqueurs. Blackwood Spirits celebrates authenticity, experimentation and a sense of place—delivering distinctive, thoughtfully crafted spirits shaped by nature and curiosity.
