African Originals wins Brand Innovator of the Year at 2024 World Gin Awards

Established in 2018, African Originals has focused on creating authentic African craft beverages. Beginning with real fruit Kenyan Original ciders, the brand expanded into the craft gin market in Kenya, led by a team of skilled distillers, including pioneering female distillers.

One of African Originals' standout products is the KO Klub Limited Edition Gin series, which features premium gin crafted with locally sourced ingredients. 

These exclusive gins, produced in limited quantities, offer unique flavours such as Coastal Spices, Pineapple, Cacao, and Very Berry.

Another notable offering is Mara Gin, which captures the essence of Kenya's Northern Mara region through a blend of indigenous botanicals and Maasai craftsmanship.

Alex Chappatte, Founder and CEO of African Originals, expressed appreciation for the award, emphasizing the brand's commitment to quality and celebration of African heritage.

"We are honoured to receive the Brand Innovator of the Year award at the World Gin Awards 2024," said Chappatte.

"Our KO Klub Limited Edition Gin series and Mara Gin represent our commitment to quality, authenticity, and celebrating African heritage. This recognition fuels our passion to continue crafting exceptional spirits and sharing the spirit of Africa with the world."
