Nope. He did say that it was not available to tasting (at the moment).

But, maybe this will change later on. Would make sense to have a coffee, brandy & chocolate pairing or something similar.
 
OK. This is something different. Trying to get my head around it. First Brandy that I've had make from Merlot grapes. A first in South Africa if not mistaken. Very smooth. Definetly something you would sip on after dinner. Going to have to revisit this again tomorrow "on a clean palate". But so far I'm pretty much enjoying it. The 38% ABV is gay though.

Lots of our SA older (fancier) brandies are bottled at 38%. Probably an attempt to make a "smoother" spirit.
 
A few I didn't even know about :p

Great experiences to learn about South African brandy

38% is what you give your kids to warm them up before heading off to school in the morning..........
