Crafted with Passion. Distilled with Purpose.

Die Uil Craft Stookhuis is a micro-manufacturer; also known as a craft distillery. We are involved in the production of distilled spirits, from grain to glass, including mashing of raw material, fermentation, distillation, infusion, maturation, and bottling – in essence producing a unique, high quality, craft spirit which inspires customers to repeat sales.


Die Uil is a true craft distillery - This means that the grain bill is sourced from within South Africa and converted into fermentable sugars. These sugars are fermented then distilled to obtain pure alcohol. Distilling in this manner allows for a superior quality product that is grafted from the first step in the
process to the point that it is enjoyed by all!


We will strive to be a fully South African product, using South African sourced raw materials and supporting
South African small business.
