{"title":"Metanoia Distillery","description":"\u003cp\u003eMetanoia Distillery is a South African whisky producer, located on a working farm in the Klein Karoo. The distillery forms part of the broader agricultural environment, with a focus on integrating whisky production into the rhythms and conditions of the land. The region’s semi-arid climate, characterised by warm days, cool nights, and low humidity, encourages early cask interaction and flavour development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Metanoia is derived from a Greek word meaning a \"transformative change\" in perspective or way of life. This concept underpins both the farm and distillery ethos, reflecting a considered, intentional approach to production, sustainability, and long-term vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Kenny Scheepers, the distillery is shaped by a clear ambition to produce whisky that expresses both place and process. This is complemented by the involvement of Andy Watts, a leading figure in South African whisky, whose experience informs maturation strategy, cask selection, and overall house style. The distillery uses a custom built German Müller pot still, the only operational one of its kind in South Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, visit the official \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/metanoiadistillery.co.za\/\" title=\"Metanoia Distillery Official Website\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMetanoia Distillery website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"metanoia-signature-single-rye-south-african-whisky","title":"Metanoia Signature Single Rye","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new small batch, core range expression from the Metanoia farm distillery in the Klein Karoo, introduced in April 2026 as part of their \u003cem\u003eKlein Karoo Signature\u003c\/em\u003e series.

Founded by Kenny Scheepers, the distillery benefits from its partnership with industry veteran and whisky icon, Andy Watts, best known for his long tenure at James Sedgwick (producer of Three Ships and Bain's). The Klein Karoo’s hot, dry semi-arid climate has undoubtedly played a significant role in maturation, accelerating interaction between spirit and oak and contributing to flavour development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"hashtags\" title=\"Browse all Metanoia Whisky\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whiskybrother.com\/collections\/metanoia-distillery\"\u003eMETANOIA\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca class=\"hashtags\" title=\"Browse all South African Whisky\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whiskybrother.com\/collections\/south-african-whisky\"\u003eSOUTH AFRICAN\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metanoia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52916015661353,"sku":null,"price":925.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/1588\/files\/MetanoiaRye.jpg?v=1776154265"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiskybrother.com\/collections\/metanoia-distillery.oembed","provider":"WhiskyBrother","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
