Select Beverage Company

Select Beverage Company is a Cape Town based alcohol brand house with one of the largest selections of premium crafted spirits in South Africa. All products are locally produced using natural ingredients, and the portfolio has earned wide recognition with over 100 awards both locally and internationally. Notable accolades include the Michelangelo International Wine and Spirits Trophy, the Merit Trophy for best gin, Best Packaging by Packaging of the World, and the People’s Choice Award by the WineMag Awards.

Their range spans 15 handcrafted gins, a sipping rum, an aged whisky, XO Potstill Cape Brandy and a Karoo agave. Signature gin collections include African Craft Gin with distinctive South African botanicals and infusions such as marula, honeybush, baobab, naartjie and litchi, as well as Chroma Gin with fruit forward expressions like apple, blackcurrant, blueberry, pineapple, strawberry and termelon. The Benedict’s Gin range features options such as Triple Cut London Dry, Blueberry and Elderflower, and Rose and Raspberry, with a dedicated Elderflower Gin also in the line up. Beyond gin, the company produces Hoodoo Rum, Sicario Karoo Agave, WhaleTale Whisky and WhaleTale XO Potstill Cape Brandy, offering depth and variety for different palates and event themes.

For events, Select Beverage Company provides a comprehensive gin and cocktail bar experience for occasions of all sizes. Services cover weddings, private parties and corporate functions, with the flexibility to tailor the beverage offering to suit the format and guest profile. Options range from a full bar service for weddings to curated gin tastings that showcase the breadth of their range. Hosts can expect a considered drinks programme built around quality spirits that are crafted in South Africa and designed to pour well at both intimate and large scale gatherings.

Specialised experiences add an interactive element to celebrations. These include full gin tasting sessions that work well for bachelorette parties, and corporate activations such as gin and food pairing events. With multiple gins and complementary spirits to choose from, the team can shape flights and signature serves that highlight different botanicals and infusions, giving guests a guided journey through classic and contemporary styles.

A standout service is custom label design for special events. Couples planning a wedding can attend a tasting to select their preferred gin, then collaborate on a bespoke label incorporating wedding details or personal imagery. The result is a memorable favour or centrepiece that reflects the occasion. The same approach suits corporate gifting, where branded labels elevate client hampers or staff rewards with a polished, professional finish aligned to the brand identity.

Select Beverage Company also supports planners, venues and caterers who already have bar operations in place by supplying spirits at wholesale prices. This supply only option is ideal when a team needs distinctive gins, rum, agave, whisky or brandy to enhance a menu while keeping procurement streamlined. Gift packs are available in compact formats such as 3 x 50 ml and 5 x 50 ml, making them practical for guest favours, tasting flights or curated hampers.

Quality underpins the entire offering. Every product is locally produced, built on natural ingredients and developed across multiple labels to deliver both variety and consistency. From classic London dry profiles to contemporary fruit and fynbos infusions, the portfolio allows event professionals to tailor cocktails and tastings to a theme, season or demographic while maintaining a cohesive standard across the bar.

Based in Westlake, Cape Town, Select Beverage Company brings depth of range and event focused services to weddings, private celebrations and corporate engagements. Whether the requirement is a full service gin and cocktail bar, an immersive tasting experience, custom labelled bottles for gifting, or reliable wholesale supply, the company offers a versatile set of solutions grounded in award winning South African spirits.
