The bottle is etched in a cursive script with the year 1672 , when brandy was first made in Table Bay harbour. Crafted in honour of maritime heritage and Cape craftsmanship, this XO Cape Brandy is matured for a minimum of 10 years in both French and American oak. Limited to only 700 bottles, it glows with deep mahogany and copper tones. The nose is rich and layered with apricot preserve, roasted nuts, vanilla pod and a subtle whiff of old sherry. The palate is opulent yet balanced, unfolding with marmalade, dried fig, honeyed almond and soft rosemary and coriander. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering warmth and a touch of cedar. Packaged in a bottle styled on vintage naval decanters, this brandy is a collector’s treasure, ideal for gifting or celebratory toasts.
