A world-class Potstill brandy, crafted in the Cape Winelands.
Sydney Back is an award-winning Potstill Brandy.
Each Sydney Back Potstill Brandy is a true celebration of the Potstill category.
Brandy distillation at Backsberg commenced in 1991, under the careful guidance of then-owner Sydney. This saw the re-introduction of a practice that had been in existence on the estate 150 years prior. In 1994, the first blend was released into the market. This blend received noticeable acknowledgement in a global context and was awarded the title of “The Best Brandy in the World™” at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, held in London in 1995.
This initial blend is still available to the public, albeit in limited quantities. For something a little less rare but still of superior quality, Backsberg has two superlative options, holding both a 10- and 15-year-old blend within the collection. Both have been crafted in a similar cognac-like style to the first distillation and delight all of those who choose to drink it.
