Edmund Oettle
A Shimmering Cape Brandy Experience
Venture off the beaten track to the hidden cellar of South Africa's extraordinary Upland 24 Karat Director's Reserve XO Brandy, a rare spirit shimmering with delicate flakes of 24-karat gold leaf.
Nestled on the Fynbos covered slopes of the Hawequas Mountain, Upland Organic Estate is home to master Cape brandy distiller Edmund Oettlé, who has pioneered a true garagiste approach to distillation.
On this intimate experience, Oettlé personally guides you through his boutique distillery, sharing the philosophy behind his craft as you explore the working still, barrel maturation cellar and the meticulous process that has earned Upland a place among South Africa's most respected artisanal producers.
Your tasting journey begins with the estate's distinctive grappa and rakia, before progressing to the elegant Upland XO 10 Year. From there, savour South Africa's only cask-strength brandy, bottled exactly as it leaves the barrel, before concluding with the crowning jewel of the collection - Upland's 24 Karat Director's Reserve XO.
This is a rare opportunity to step inside one of South Africa's most exclusive boutique distilleries and experience the passion, craftsmanship and uncompromising pursuit of excellence behind every bottle.
