The limited-edition set of four brandies, each presented in a 200ml bottle, is packaged as a luxury ensemble and is available from the distillery near Stellenbosch. Selling for R860, it offers the 10 Year Old Vintage Brandy, as well as the three potstills: the 12 Year Old Distillers Reserve, 15 Year Old Fine Cask Reserve and 20 Year Old Collectors Reserve. "Each of the brandies exhibits the hallmark fruit opulence and cashmere texture for which Van Ryn's has become so celebrated. But when you have the opportunity to taste them alongside each other, their distinctive individuality becomes pleasingly apparent. The collection makes an exciting gift but also offers an accessible way of owning the entire range," says brand manager Gerhard du Toit. Van Ryn's has been the recipient of three Worldwide Best trophies on the International Wine & Spirit Competition and two Best Brandy trophies on the International Spirits Challenge. Both highly prestigious competitive platforms attracting entries worldwide, they are based in London. The connoisseur set can only be purchased from the distillery's on-site boutique. The venue is open every day over the summer, including Sundays. For trading and tour times, visit www.vanryn.co.za.
