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.
