In October 2021, actress, model, TV presenter and iconic South African media personality, Pearl Thusi joined Black Rose Gin as an equity partner on the brand.

After having being introduced to Black Rose Gin, Thusi knew she wanted to be a part of the brand in an ownership capacity. Said Thusi “I just love everything about this brand, I mean The Black Pearl x Black Rose -it was written in the stars. Satin Original is classic, the smoothest gin you’ll ever taste. The Blood Orange is sexy and daring and Pink Pomegranate is sexy and flirtatious- these variants are delicious and make any occasion worth celebrating – there’s a flavour for every occasion and every mood. I’m so excited to create a powerful and equally empowering future for the brand and those who love it. Get ready everyone… we’re going to shake things up” 

Pearl was the perfect partner to bring on board for Black Rose. She embodies everything that Black Rose stands for, being a proud, independent and authentic modern women. Pearl has shown through hard work, dedication to her craft and an unconquerable attitude what can be achieved. And its the driving focus and creative mindset she possesses blended with the quality intrinsic that Black Rose offers in every bottle that we think consumers all over the world will appreciate and enjoy!

“I’ve tasted many gins and had many offers on the table for such collaborations… everything made sense because the quality of Black Rose is the best and so it wasn’t a difficult choice.  There’s really none other like it in the market and I can’t wait to get started and show people exactly that.”
