Oude Molen is a historic brandy distillery in South Africa, founded by René Santhagens in 1910. René, originally from the Netherlands, moved to South Africa where he purchased a farm called Oude Molen in Stellenbosch and started his brandy production using traditional Cognac methods. He was deeply committed to quality, influencing the Wine and Spirits Act of 1924, which set high standards for brandy production in South Africa. His methods and dedication helped establish the Oude Molen brand as a benchmark in the South African brandy industry
This brandy is truly a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of Oude Molen, reflecting a deep commitment to traditional distilling methods while embracing the unique qualities imparted by the Cape wine region. Its accolades and sensory profile make it a distinguished choice among premium spirits.
