Age and Maturation: To be classified as XO, the Cape Brandy must be aged in oak barrels for at least 10 years. Oude Molen XO often contains brandy much older than this, providing an extraordinary example of the XO grade. This exceeds the French Cognac minimum of 6 years for an XO classification. Some of the brandy in the Oude Molen XO blend has been aged for 16 years.
Tasting Notes: The brandy presents tropical aromas with hints of coconut, litchi, and banana on the nose, and offers peach and apricot undertones on the palate. The careful selection of oak ensures a soft mouthfeel with a long, rewarding finish.
Cellar Conditions: The distillery's high-altitude location in the Hottentots Holland mountains contributes to a cooler climate, resulting in lower evaporation losses and ideal maturation conditions for an aged XO Cape Brandy.
Perfect Pairing: Oude Molen XO pairs beautifully with soft Camembert cheese, enhancing the smooth finish of the brandy while unlocking flavors of nuts and spices in the cheese.
