Superbly pale gold in colour, with a most delicious nose packed with glorious floral and dried apricot aromas. Made from the finest 14-year-old brandies, it is ultra-smooth in the mouth, with a nice broad palate exhibiting apricot, fig, and sweet tobacco and pear nuances, very interestingly balanced with just enough vanilla to carry it off. With no harshness whatsoever, it is a worthy successor to the fine tradition started by René Santhagens.
In 1910 Rene Santhagens produced VOV the first Cape potstill brandy distilled and matured in the true cognac tradition. Today VOV is still created in this spirit of craftsmanship from the distillery's finest 14 year old brandies.
