Viceroy Brandy 750ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (3 reviews)Pour a finger of this and it's all warm caramel and vanilla, the kind of glass you nurse slowly while the night winds down. Viceroy is a five-year-old Cape brandy that drinks smoother than its price tag suggests. Neat after dinner, over ice on a hot Nairobi evening, or stretched long with cola at the gathering, it just works. Got a craving at 11pm? We'll have it at your door before you've found the ice.
First whiff is sweet oak and vanilla, with a soft muscat-grape sweetness and a little dried fruit sitting behind it. The sip is where it earns its name: rich and rounded, caramel and butterscotch up front, a touch of toffee and juicy apricot, then a gentle dusting of warm spice. It finishes long and warm, lingering nicely without any harsh burn. Smooth is the headline here.

Where It's From
Viceroy comes out of the Cape Winelands in South Africa, distilled at the Van Ryn's distillery in Vlottenburg, just outside Stellenbosch. That's serious brandy country, and Van Ryn's has a reputation for some of the most awarded brandies on the planet. Viceroy itself launched back in 1940 and has been a smooth, reliable favourite ever since, matured at least five years in French oak before it ever hits the bottle.
