Van Ryn's Distillery Reserve 12 year old

Aged in small French oak casks, which makes it much more “old world” in style than the other brandies in this family. The nose is more intense, with a slight astringency driven by the wood. Still strong with raisin, well-baked apple, and spice notes, the wood notes grow heavier to the point of overpowering the spirit’s gentle fruit core. With time, the body offers up surprisingly tough notes of leather and furniture polish, with a slightly bitter bite on the finish.

In addition to earning regular gold medals on major international shows, Ryn's 12 Year Old Distillers Reserve Potstill Brandy has won the trophy for the 'Worldwide Best Brandy' six times to date, three times at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) and three times at the International Spirits Challenge, officially confirming its status as the best brandy in the world.
