Distillery Information

The story begins in 1850 with Captain James Sedgwick, one of the greatest South African liquor industry forerunners. Sailing into Table Bay on the clipper, Undine, Captain Sedgwick took refuge on the Cape’s beautiful shores retiring from sea and later founding the firm J. Sedgwick & Co. – a purveyor of quality liquor, tobacco and cigars. After his death in 1872, two of the skipper’s four sons continued their father’s business, which grew exponentially under their leadership. In addition to selling imported wines and spirits, the company expanded with the sons wishing to create their own brandy and fortified wines and so, the duo purchased buildings in 1886 on the banks of the Berg River, which was once known as Katryntjiesdrift. These buildings are today the very place that house Africa's only commercial whisky distillery, The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington.
