KWV

Released to celebrate KWV’s 100-year legacy, this extraordinary brandy includes components dating back to 1926 and even a single cask rescued from the 1942 cellar fire. Aged for an average of 37 years in French oak, this golden amber spirit is a liquid time capsule, on par with the finest brandies on the planet. The nose is rich and evocative, with honey, tawny port, vanilla bean and ground cinnamon. The palate is broad, vibrant and vivid: think caramelised fruit, saffron, tobacco leaf and bittersweet chocolate. A hint of all-spice and aged wood add gravitas. Supremely smooth and deeply resonant, this brandy embodies South Africa’s finest heritage. A collector’s piece and celebration-worthy dram for true connoisseurs.

A rich sensory experience, XV opens on the nose with a magical bouquet of fruits; peaches, dried apricot and a subtle hint of pear.

The fruit follows through on the palate, and is balanced by honey, caramel and traces of citrus.

The finish is warm, long lasting and full bodied, with walnut, almond a touch of vanilla rounding out a sensory experience par excellence.
