Our History
The Journey
Tough economic times turned us to the art of distilling. We started with a homemade “Shine Still” in a friend’s garage. The first batch of “beer” for the whisky was too small to cover the element of the Still. Some “stolen” Round River stones from the complex garden were used to make up the volume. The first bottle of whisky spirit was produced. That night Steelklip (Stolen Stones) saw the light for the first time. When we settled in the Western Cape, we saw an opportunity to showcase our take on the art of craft distilling. Still Oaky micro-manufactures Mampoer, Steelklip Whisky, Brandy Style Pot-Stilled Apple.
