Boplaas 12 Year Old Potstill Brandy

Cape heritage in a bottle, aged to perfection.

Distilled in the time-honoured Cognac style and aged in French oak for over a decade, this 12-year-old potstill brandy from Boplaas is a masterclass in patience, craftsmanship, and Karoo terroir.

Rich and refined, it opens with warm notes of dried apricot, vanilla pod, roasted nuts, and a hint of old leather and cigar box. The palate is silky yet structured, with layers of oak spice, fruitcake, and a long, elegant finish that reminds you this isn’t just brandy—it’s legacy in liquid form.
