where we meticulously craft artisanal spirits and bitters that embody the unique flavors and experiences found along South Africa's breathtaking West Coast

We are a collective of ocean enthusiasts and passionate creators, dedicated to producing high-quality beverages that delight the palate. Co-founders Shaun and Shane, who have fostered a deep friendship over the past 20 years, embarked on this exciting entrepreneurial journey together, combining their diverse skills, business acumen, and a shared love for craftsmanship to form the backbone of West Coast Distillers.

Our mission is clear and purposeful: to create exceptional spirits that not only taste amazing but also offer something truly distinctive and intriguing. We aim high, aspiring to elevate our modest beginnings into a brand recognized for its quality and uniqueness, all while remaining dedicated to the principles of

artisanal craftsmanship.

Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Langebaan, South Africa, our distillery is a haven for crafting some of the continent’s most exquisite spirits.
