Actress, media personality and all-around Queen, Khanyi Mbau is launching her very first gin on the 1st of December and we are super stoked about it.
‘The Gin is called I AM Khanyi, An undiscovered language of consistency,’ says Mbau.
For a star who could have created or invested in anything else, our question to Mbau is ‘Why Gin’.
‘The Gin industry has grown in South Africa and has become such a great platform to invest your money in, like property and art.., and the alcohol industry is much more fun than trading art and affordable for me at the moment. I also want my name attached to everyone’s celebratory moments. I want people to be happy,’ Mbau explains.
In creating the gin, Mbau worked with Nicole from Copper & Malt. The company helped the star with the project and kept Mbau fully involved in the whole process right from concept design through to which flavour profiles would work.
‘The gins were designed specifically to suit persona, style and personalities.’
The gin will be available from 1 December at Makro throughout South Africa and then will be available in Gauteng at various Tops@Spar, Ultra Liquors, Norman Goodfellows and Liquor City’s. A bottle with retail for around R 389 – R399.
