South Africa's renowned craft brewery, Darling Brew, is proud to announce the launch of REMINISCE Whisky, a truly unique spirit that embodies the resilience and creativity that emerged during the worldwide Covid pandemic.
In a daring collaboration with a distinguished distillery, Darling Brew transformed unsold beer from the extended lockdown into a remarkable whisky. This innovative process involved careful distillation and a 5-year aging period in used bourbon barrels, resulting in a whisky that bears witness to the challenges of the past while embracing the hope of the future.
To complement this extraordinary whisky, Darling Brew has crafted a truly unique gift box, styled as an old-fashioned fairy tale book titled REMINSCE. This whimsical packaging invites you to embark on a sensory journey through time, where every chapter celebrates resilience and innovation. Adding to the charm, each book includes a library card that can be completed with every 'withdrawal', creating a keepsake of shared moments. As with any good fairy tale, the back of the book features a delightful nursery rhyme, narrating the remarkable story of a whisky born from adversity.
Indulge in a timeless story with every sip of REMINSCE Whisky – a smooth, rich blend that pairs beautifully with its enchanting presentation.
REMINISCE Whisky invites both beer and whisky enthusiasts to join a journey back in time, reflecting on significant moments from the past. The whisky serves as a testament to the human spirit's ability to turn adversity into opportunity, offering a unique taste of history and craftsmanship in every sip.
