Produced in the Western Cape, the Joseph Barry VS Brandy reflects the classic South African style: fruit-driven, oak-matured and smooth enough for both sipping and mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"767\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003eThe “VS” designation indicates that the youngest spirit in the blend has been matured for at least three years in oak casks. Careful maturation softens the spirit while developing notes of vanilla, dried fruit and gentle spice. The focus remains on balance and drinkability rather than excessive oak weight, making it a versatile introduction to South African potstill brandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eWarm amber gold with copper highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eAromas of dried apricot, raisin and orange peel lead the nose, followed by vanilla, caramel and soft toasted oak.
