The Inventer is the legacy of Johan Venter, an icon in South Africa's brandy industry. After retiring from Distell in 2019, where he was the chief of its Centre of Excellence: Intrinsics, Johan spent time in Scotland refining blends and developing new products for three international whisky distilleries owned by Distell, namely Tobermory, Deanston and Bunnahabhain. The Inventer reflects Johan's personal hand and ingenuity, creating spirits that are uniquely South African.
