It is home to the largest repair cooperage in the Southern Hemisphere where a handful of skilled artisans tenderly repair and maintain the French oak barrels imported from Limousin in France, in preparation to mature the elegant spirit of Van Ryn’s range of multi-award- winning brandies.

This brandy is a small batch release from the Van Ryn’s Distillery and is non-chilled filtered. Only 400, 750ml bottles have been produced and is exclusively available from the Van Ryn’s Brandy Distillery or on this platform.  A collector’s item that showcases the unique products made by the dynamic brandy -making team at Van Ryn’s.
