Two households, both alike in dignity, have come together to create this Potstill Brandy of rare distinction. Rooted in fine artisanal craftmanship, H&G Fine & Rare Potstill Brandy is distilled in an age-old tradition through an Alembic Pot Still. The result is a timeless brandy, with a spicy, elegant structure that develops a complex, layered taste of peaches, ginger, marzipan, and candied orange peel during barrel-aging. Acclaimed South African International Spirit Judge, Dave Hughes, on first tasting H&G Potstill Brandy, spontaneously declared: “Different, unique, refined, spicy, too complex to define. I think it’s delicious.” H&G Potstill Brandy has been built on a solid foundation: the knowledge and skill of Master Distiller George Dalla Cia; the traditional pot still method of distillation; the judicious application of oak from the Limousin forests of France; and the blending of distinct grape varieties and their terroir.
