Appearance

Slow maturation in French oak barrels has enhanced the distinctive characteristics of the TOKARA Ten Year Old Potstill Brandy. The aromas abound with and subtle complex notes of fresh vanilla, dried fig, peach and raisin fruits. The floral pot-pourri aromas and rich jasmine and orange blossom notes add to the complexity
of this brandy. The palate delivers mellow rounded flavours of caramel, dried apricots and a spicy pepper and saffron finish. This spirit is one of distinctive character with a fine length and depth
of aftertaste.

Opinion/Accolades

The base wine for this brandy is made from Chenin Blanc grapes from Stellenbosch vineyards. Distillation is done in our copper Pruhlo Alambic potstill. The traditional Cognac double distillation process is followed with the separation of the Head, Heart and Tails fractions. Retaining only the heart fraction for maturation.
The resultant spirit, at between 68 and 72% alcohol by volume, is put to 300 litre French oak barrels for maturation.
Personal food pairing: Rare Beef Fillet served on a bed of green beans with tiny sjimeji mushrooms, a miso coffee black bean reduction and roast potatoes.
