To celebrate our 100th year, KWV’s Master Blender created this very special blend, a brandy that truly transcends time. Behind the award-winning KWV label, you will taste and experience a piece of South African history. It all began in 1918 with the first-ever brandy. Two large potstills were used to distill what has become known as KWV’s legendary 1926 vintage. Some of this vintage bottled 97 years ago, is resting in this very bottle. Our Centenary Potstill Brandy reflects the richness of KWV’s heritage as pioneers of South African spirits and contains some of our country’s oldest brandies, including some of that very special brandy filled 97 years ago. This rich golden amber brandy, which has an average maturation period of no less than 37 years, has a unique flavour profile of honey, tawny port, vanilla and ground cinnamon. On taste there are expressive notes of caramelized fruit, saffron, tobacco and chocolate.
