Drayman's South African Highveld 5 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a groundbreaking spirit that marks a milestone as the first single malt whisky from Africa to grace the shores of the US! Born from the heart of Pretoria's esteemed craft distillery, Drayman's Brewery, this whisky is a testament to the rich heritage and innovative spirit of South African craftsmanship. Distilled from 100% pale barley malt sourced from the bountiful fields of Swartland, each grain tells a story of the land's robust character.
