Uitkyk Pot Still Brandy Ten Year Old Grand Reserve, #

South Africa has a long history of producing fine brandies. In fact, for years the brandy industry was given priority over still-wine production. The first early European settlers to the Cape in 1652 brought their experience with them. Orange amber in colour, it has a mellow woody bouquet with vanilla, bitter orange and a touch of smoke. It is smooth and elegant with a lingering smoky taste. It was produced from Cinsault, Chenin Blanc, Clairette Blanche and Cabernet Sauvignon wines and double- distilled in a 2000-litre pot still. It was matured for 10 years in oak casks.
