Mainstay is a legend in the liquor industry -the only spirit in South Africa ever to reach a volume in excess of 15 million litres per annum (1980/1981)!It is known across the world and is still a firm favourite with thousands of consumers. Who can ever forget the famous line "You can stay as you are for the rest of your life or you can change to Mainstay!"Cane spirit, unique to South Africa, is as special to this country as tequila is to Mexico! It was created in the cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal and originally known as 'gavine' or 'mystery liquor'. As the name implies, cane spirit is distilled from fermented molasses, by the continuous column still method. Mainstay, the resultant spirit, is extremely pure and crystal clear.
