Musgrave Copper Brandy makes the BEST Dom Pedro’s

I received a gorgeous press drop from Musgrave at the beginning of the Festive Season and I’ve become a brandy fan thanks to Musgrave Copper Black Honey and Musgrave Copper Vanilla.

Musgrave Crafted Spirits –   known for being an innovative and disruptive brand in the South African spirits industry  –  was amongst the first to launch premium craft products; Musgrave Original Gin and Musgrave Pink Gin. Boasting highly awarded flavour infusions that delight consumers worldwide, it’s the latest offering, Musgrave Copper (Infused potstill Brandy) that promises a new disruption in the market;  Musgrave Copper Vanilla and Musgrave Copper Black Honey.

Musgrave Copper is crafted to be the “Bourbon” of Brandy. A new genre that remixes the brandy category to play where cognac has feared to tread. Copper is luxurious, disruptive, infused and made to mix. It’s a flavour-infused brandy with subtle flavours and a distinctly African palate. Musgrave Copper is more aligned to the Cognac drinker than to a traditional Brandy drinker using the finest potstill brandy with added excitement of flavour-infusion. It attracts a consumer who exists beyond the preconceptions of their gender, age or race; they seek out the new.

“Brandy is going to have its moment, and we’re going to be there to make those moments memorable with our consumer, just be sure to know, it’s called “Copper” now, winks Musgrave.

I’m not going to pretend to know much about brandy, but what I can confirm is that both of these brandies taste amazing on the rocks, in coffee and Musgrave Copper Brandy Dom Pedro’s are AMAZING.

I kept our Dom Pedro’s simple… Musgrave Copper brandy and ice cream. YUM!
