Avontuur 10 Year Potstill Brandy NV

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

It is clean and crisp on the nose with strong cedar and vanilla undertones. On the palate it has an attractive herbaceousness with complexity added across the full floral and fruit spectrum. The finish is smooth and the beautiful golden caramel colour is due to the ageing process in the oak.
