Whitley Neill Banana & Guava Gin 70cl

Product Information

Close to 80% of the Waragi today is made in Uganda. A large glass of this unregulated liquor goes for approximately 25 cents, making it easily accessible for Ugandans. To simply enjoy this decadent home comfort, simply top 50ml gin with ginger ale and garnish with a fresh orange wedge. The death toll of 80 was arrived at after 15 people died in the period between April 23 and the weekend before. [11] Deaths in Kamwenge went from five to nine after four people died on 21 April. [11] Two people were hospitalised at Kamwenge's Ntara Health CentreIV and five were hospitalised at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. [11] Visualizations:Alcohol Consumption Worldwide".

We like to use discarded chopping board fruit which would otherwise go to waste to make dehydrated fruit garnishes as well as infusions.

People in Uganda now drink the harsh gin and authorities overall ignore the law and do not enforce it regularly. It is sold in shops and bars across Uganda and a distilled version is sold overseas. The product that is sold overseas is double and sometimes triple distilled from the alcohol that village distillers make for the factories in Uganda. When it is distilled, flavors are added and many impurities and dangerous parts of the alcohol are filtered out. [4] Incidents [ edit ] After Ugandan independence in 1962, the government of Uganda passed the Enguli Act of 1965, which was designed to encourage local producers of enguli to supply their produce to the distillery factory, in addition to stipulating that moonshining could only be done with government-issued licenses; this was done so the gin industry in Uganda could be regulated and taxed by the government. Furthermore, those who received their licenses from the Ugandan government were directed to sell their enguli to the distillery. When the factory received shipments of enguli, they used them in the production of Uganda Waragi. [5]Honestly, we would definitely not use most of the beautiful craft gins we know or send to our Craft Gin Club members for this process, as the added ingredients will hide (and spoil) the distilleries’ delicate flavours. VICE, a news outlet known for " immersion journalism" devoted an episode of their web series Fringes to the process of making and distributing Waragi. The episode also covered the cultural significance of Waragi in Uganda, with reporter Thomas Morton imbibing various distillations of the traditional beverage. [12] Most countries that we travel to have their own version of alcohol. Of course, there are the mainstream alcohols that you buy in liquor stores and bars, but there is also the stuff that anyone can make if they have the right ingredients. Since we have been in Uganda for almost a year combined between 2021 and 2022, we have tried all types of alcohol that they traditionally make out of bananas. Strain the liquid to remove the bananas, making sure to squeeze out every drop of vermouth. Pour the vermouth into a sterilised bottle.
