Our Gins
We are bringing our oxes home to you
10 Oxes Gin is by far the best gin I have ever tasted. My favourite is Skulder - which seemed like an odd flavour (fig and black pepper) until I tasted it! I was blown away completely. Of course I had to try fresh figs with black pepper afterwards and then it was completely clear as to why that was the chosen flavour for Skulder. 10 out of 10!
On the nose you smell Juniper...and then something more like mango...as I dotted my nose all over the glass...one nostril at a time...from the bottom and then letting my breath warmly blow notes out of the Gin from the top I picked up chocolate...not Cadburys dairy milk but a kind of Raw woody chocolate. In the palette strawberries make their appearance...again a Mango-y taste...vaguely chocolatey...the balance of botanicals is adequate and nothing artificial is detected.

More Than Gin
A tribute to our heritage
The essence of 10 Oxes lies in heritage. A heritage that’s deeply rooted in the heart of every bottle of 10 Oxes gin. It is a legacy of strength, bravery and courage.
The year was 1880, and Andries Barnard was looking for his ten oxen in the vicinity of Platberg while they went to graze. The family was working wood in the area, to which the oxen played an integral part. Andries found the oxen grazing near the Geelhoutboom River, in the midst of the yellowwood and blackwood forests. It is at this site where the Barnards worked the lands, and with the help of the mighty ten oxen, made a living and established their estate, Waboomskraal.
The ten oxes, Tottie, Shortie, Regter, Roos, Skulder, Matroos, Toldraai, Lap, Dapper and Stap left behind a legacy of courage, and with their strength and the Barnard’s perseverance Waboomskraal was discovered and developed.
