KWV 3 Year Old Brandy (750ml)

KWV is the second largest brandy producer in South Africa, sourcing chenin blanc and colombard grapes from over fifty different cooperatives and vineyards. Their distillate is casked at around 70% ABV, typically in either fine-grained Limousin or coarser-grained Tronçais oak casks. After three years, anything intended for additional aging is transferred into older barrels. A combination of new and older oak casks are used, as well as some that formerly held wine. The entry-level three-year-old is double pot distilled for a full, fruity taste including flavours of apple and pear. It's solid as a mixer or everyday drinker, but if you're looking for a brandy with more finesse, check out the superior age statements in the award-winning KWV range. 43% Alc./Vol.
