Please tell us when your company was founded and some of its history?

Gincident.co.za and Dragon’s Keeper gin was founded in the latter months of 2019. We recognised the need for an online liquor store and quality gin, so we decided to throw caution to the wind and Gincident was born.
While we have an array of alcoholic beverages for consumers to enjoy, our passion is gin, and our pride and joy is the multi-award-winning Dragon’s Keeper Psidium and Aurum gin which brings the West and East together.
