Pure Spirit. Pure Mischief.

Born in Pretoria. Made for the world.

An independent South African brandy house with one rule: nothing leaves until it earns the label.

R450 a bottle. Delivery R150 flat, anywhere in South Africa.

The flagship

Verboten Premium Brandy

Warm oak, dried apricot and vanilla on the nose. Caramel, toasted nuts and a quiet spice on the palate. The finish is long and does not need help.

The ritual

Three ways in. Nothing here needs a cocktail kit, or an audience.

The house serve. The brandy was finished in French oak so you could taste it, not bury it.

South Africa's drink, done with intent. Cold glass, good ice, and a brandy that can carry it.

The classic, moved to Pretoria. Brandy has been doing this job longer than most whiskies.

Ready to drink

The same spirit with its collar loosened. Pre-mixed, canned, and served colder than strictly necessary. The national serve, done properly.

The house

Pretoria, 2020. A conviction that the best traditions often start with someone breaking the rules, and a spirit made to prove it.
