Van Ryn's Au.Ra 30 Year Old Brandy
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Van Ryn's Au.Ra 30 Year Old Brandy

Au.Ra an amalgamation of the symbol Gold (Au) and Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, is more than a brandy - it's the epitome of pure perfection.

Lovingly crafted from 30-year-old pot still brandy and set aside until achieving its unique golden colour and distinctive smooth-as-liquid-gold taste, AU.RA is a super premium brandy created with one sole intent – to be the best in the world.

'Tasting this unique 30-year-old brandy is a very personal experience. The first impression is of its beautiful golden amber color. AU.RA is intensely aromatic, which is one of its most delightful characteristics. And the aromas are as diverse as they are intense. The most common being orange blossom, vanilla, milk chocolate, pickled ginger, dried sweet figs and roasted hazelnuts. After a first nose, this full-bodied brandy opens up to a palate of soft lingering flavours of nuts, coffee and sherry. The final impression of AU.RA ends in a creamy, balanced finish that leaves one with a pleasant reminder of all that has gone before.' - Marlene Bester, Van Ryn's Distillery Manager

Never before has so much craft, patience and attention to detail gone into a single decanter of brandy. The crystal decanter is a masterpiece in itself. Each and every decanter was individually handcrafted in flawless crystal glass by South Africa’s acclaimed artist David Reade, and is adorned by a signature teardrop shape neckpiece plated in fine silver, designed by jeweller Bridget Zietkiewicz. The stylish outer case crafted from solid oak was handmade by world-renowned furniture designer James Mudge.

Only 107 decanters of AU.RA will ever be created - with every crystal decanter being a dedication to the 107 years the Van Ryn’s distillery has been crafting the world’s finest brandies. AU.RA is truly a legacy, you are one of only 107 who share in this creation.

Each bottle of this 30 year old brandy is certified for authenticity, in it's limited edition genuine Au.Ra decanters.
