Our story

Every drop starts a ripple. We distil gin, vodka and whiskey in small batches in Johannesburg, keeping only the heart of every run. Beside them we bottle a refined tequila, so one local maker can fill your whole back bar.

Our craft

From still
to bottle.

Three unhurried steps, the same for every batch.

Copper pot stills
01

Distil

Small batches run slowly through our stills. We keep only the heart of each run for a cleaner, smoother spirit.

Rows of oak barrels in a cellar
02

Rest

Our whiskey takes its time in wood, picking up colour, warmth and character until it is ready.

Bottle

Every bottle, from our own spirits to our tequila, is filled, sealed and checked by hand before it leaves us.

“Good spirits
can't be rushed.”

Tequila, bottled by Ripple2s

Born from agave.
Finished by us.

Tequila begins with the blue agave plant. We bring it home to Johannesburg and bottle it with the same care we give our own spirits.
