Fine Brandy.By Design™ specialty brandies cast a richly golden glow at this year’s Veritas Awards, garnering five double gold medals, four golds and two silvers.
The hero was undoubtedly Van Ryn’s Collection Reserve quartet netting two double golds and two golds.
The Van Ryn’s 10 Year Old vintage brandy and the 15 Year Old potstill were the double gold winners and the 12 and 20 Year Olds, the gold medallists. Van Ryn’s is South Africa’s most decorated brandy distillery.
Earlier this year it won its fifth Worldwide Best Brandy title at the International Wine & Spirit Challenge.
It has also earned the International Spirits Challenge Best Brandy trophy three times. Other Veritas double gold medallists were Flight of the Fish Eagle, Klipdrift Gold and Oude Meester Reserve 12 Year Old.
Golds also went to Collison’s White Gold and the Oude Meester 18 Year Old Souverein.
Those to get silver were Oude Meester Demant and Uitkyk 10 Year Old. “There’s a golden thread of consistency to the performance of these brandies,” says Fine Brandy.
By Design™ spokesperson, Shelley Ellse. “Whether on local or international competitive platforms, they continue to earn acclaim.”
