Purchase the popular Boplaas 5 Year Carel Nel Brandy 750ml. This is a rich, world-class blended brandy. It carries a strong distilling heritage dating back to 1880. The spirit is named for Cellar Master Carel Nel. Grapes are 100% Colombard from the arid Klein Karoo. The base wine is double-distilled in an antique copper still. The brandy matures for five years. It rests in a combination of old Limousin oak and seasoned Portuguese Port pipes. This process creates its rich, distinctive character.
Boplaas 5 Year Carel Nel shows a beautiful, deep golden color. The nose offers warm vanilla, dried fig, and sun-baked peach. Its palate is medium-bodied and finely balanced. Flavors of sultana, caramel, and subtle spice are found. A smooth mouthfeel leads to a mellow finish. Whispers of cinnamon and golden raisin linger.
This is an approachable, everyday indulgence. It is ideal neat or with a single ice cube. Try it in a classic brandy cocktail, like a Sidecar.
