The Russell Foster Legacy Collection

6 Bottles For the Price of 5. One West Coast Legacy.

Poetic License Distillery was born in the heart of the West Coast — Port Owen, Velddrif — and shaped by passion, craftsmanship, community and character.

For years, Russell Voster has been part of this journey. His contribution helped build Poetic License into more than just a gin brand. It became a story people could share — around tables, at sunsets, during celebrations, at restaurants, in homes, at events, and among loyal supporters who believed in the spirit of a handcrafted West Coast gin.

As Russell prepares to retire and step down from his active role in the business, we want to honour him in a way that feels true to what he helped create.

It is our way of saying Thank You.

1) It is a thank-you to Russell for the foundation he helped build.
2) It is a thank-you to the clients and friends who supported the brand.
3) It is a thank-you to the restaurants, guesthouses, businesses and gin lovers who helped carry the Poetic License story forward.

But this campaign is not only about the past.

It is also about the future.

As Russell retires, Poetic License Distillery will continue building on what he has already achieved. His legacy will be carried forward through continued craftsmanship, stronger client relationships, renewed energy, responsible growth and a deep commitment to keeping this proudly West Coast brand alive and growing.

A Limited Legacy Release

To mark this special transition, we are releasing a once-off Legacy Collection. This exclusive release is a celebration of Russell’s contribution, a sincere thank-you to our loyal supporters, and a confident step into the next chapter of Poetic License Distillery.

Whether you are a loyal client, a local restaurant or guesthouse, a corporate gift buyer, or a gin lover who appreciates local craft, this collection gives you the opportunity to be part of a meaningful West Coast story.

Please note: This is a limited legacy release, not a clearance sale.
