DYNAMIC, driven and authentic \u2013 capturing the region\u2019s image and identity in each sip.<\/p>\n

When Rodney Milford (65) and his wife, Gerda (64), launched One33 Craft Distillery and Cheesery in St Francis Bay in October, last year, they had never worked at a distillery before, let alone had any experience in the liquor industry \u2013 apart from a short craft distilling course.<\/p>\n

This only ignited their curiosity to experiment and learn the secrets of the craft.<\/p>\n

Even if it is only on small scale.<\/p>\n

Rodney smiles: \u201cI believe that if you have a passion for something, which in our case is telling a story by making craft liquor, then you can achieve anything – if you put your mind and hard work to it. Even if you are on pension.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that passion to succeed, the couple began pouring their time and enthusiasm into crafting rum of uncompromising character and quality. <\/p>\n

While their initial focus was on rum, they soon branched out to include gin and vodka.<\/p>\n

Although, not without several experiments and failures. Now, two years later, the distillery is home to craft rum (white, dark and black), gin and vodka.<\/p>\n

\u201cDistilling is definitely in my blood, even though I never planned to make it a career,\u201d says Rodney.<\/p>\n

Add to that unique handmade cheese \u2013 Gerda\u2019s speciality.<\/p>\n

Inspiration<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Why the name One33?<\/p>\n

Gerda laughs, \u201cIt is our house number.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always said, should nobody want to buy our products, we would enjoy the rum and cheese on the beach. And if we get drunk, people will know where to take us \u2013 to One33, our home.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Rodney and Gerda it was never just about the rum, gin or even the vodka \u2013 they wanted to create a product that would tell a story. <\/p>\n

A story inspired by the freshness and beauty of the region, as well as by the early inhabitants of which the various archaeological sites with traces from hundreds of thousands of years ago, is a silent witness to this.<\/p>\n

Therefore, each hand-crafted bottle comes with a small booklet in recognition of the lighthouses and shipwrecks along the Eastern Cape shoreline.<\/p>\n

Even the names have a true local flavour: Sea Vista Gin and The Village Vodka. Add to this a passion for sustainability. Gerda, who made sure they built a business that is in tune with its environment, says, \u201cThe One33 range is also available in recycled bottles \u2013 we like to give wine bottles a second life.<\/p>\n

\u201cRe-using bottles makes a small, but very important, contribution to reducing waste and energy. We collect up to 60 used bottles a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, not only does it support local job creation through the recycling of the glass bottles \u2013 including sorting according to size, washing, sterilising, labeling and recapping \u2013 but the cost-savings are also passed down to the community.\u201d <\/p>\n

Not stopping there, the water used in the distillation process comes from an on-site borehole, drawing water from the nearby Sand River, while the distilled botanicals are used by local farmers in their animal feed.<\/p>\n

From rum to gin and vodka<\/strong> <\/p>\n

According to Rodney, the One33 rum \u2013 distilled by using a pot still and purified in a rectifying column \u2013 is blended from two types of South African molasses and fermented by using two types of yeast to give it a unique flavour and depth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne33 White is a smooth, light bodied rum and slightly sweet in flavour, while our award-winning One33 Dark is aged in small Virginia and French oak barrels for 133 days \u2013 giving it a rich, textured finish that appeals to both rum and whisky drinkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne33 Dark received a gold medal in the 2019 Michelangelo International Wine and Spirits Awards.\u201d<\/p>\n

One33 Black is a mixed spirit using One33 White that is aged in glass carboys and charred oak chips, and blended with a fortified wine-based spirit. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne33 Black is refreshing and slightly sweet with a full balance of flavour and aromas,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the gin, the distillery leans toward classic gin botanicals \u2013 keeping to the more original gin recipe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe combine botanicals like juniper, liquorice root, and coriander with One33\u2019s signature Khoisan Sour Fig,\u201d says Rodney.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne33 Sea Vista gets its name from the Sea Vista settlement in the St Francis Bay area, and the label incorporates artwork from a local Sea Vista artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Handmade cheese<\/strong> <\/p>\n

While Rodney is the master distiller, Gerda is the artisan cheesemaker \u2013 starting with 15 litres of milk, which quickly grew to 45 litres of milk a day (making 4kg to 5kg of cheese).<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not believe the demand for a product that is pure: without any preservatives, colourants and excess flavourants,\u201d Gerda says.<\/p>\n

Her cheese range includes matured cheddar, sweet milk, merlot, coffee, chives and onion, pepper, sage, cumin, feta and haloumi.<\/p>\n

A kaleidoscope of colours on a cheese plate: black, yellow, orange, white and purple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you close your eyes and take a bite of the merlot cheese, you are not sure whether you are drinking the cheese or eating the wine,\u201d says Gerda.<\/p>\n

She, furthermore, makes yoghurt, jam and flatbread. <\/p>\n

One33 Craft Distillery and Cheesery is a member of the Southern African Craft Distilling Institute (SACDI).<\/p>\n

\u201cA new certification body, the Real Craft Certification Authority, was formed in July 2019 with the aim of certifying genuine \u2018craft\u2019 producers of gin and other products,\u201d says Rodney.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this will be a huge shake-up of the craft alcohol business and is finally going to give both the consumer and the retailers the information they require to make an informed decision about the products they are buying and selling.\u201d<\/p>\n

All One33 distillery spirits are available at the Village Square Tops and the Blue Bottle Liquor Store in St Francis Bay, as well as online at the One33 online shop, Copper Wine & Craft Spirits and Takealot. <\/p>\n
