*Special Bundle WhaleTale Whisky & WhaleTale XO Potstill Cape Brandy

WHALETALE WHISKY

Distilled on 14/05/2018, matured to perfection for the refined whisky enthusiast.

Nestled in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela, lies the
world-famous “Hole in the Wall.” Known as esiKhaleni by the Xhosa people,
meaning “place of noise,” the “Hole in the Wall’ is a tidal island with a magnificent
natural archway at its center. This colossal archway is believed by many to have
been sculpted by ferocious waves created by whales in the local area.
According to Xhosa folklore, the “Hole in the Wall” is far more than a geological
wonder, it is revered as a sacred gateway to their ancestors.

Much like the waves that shaped the “Hole in the Wall,” Whale Tale Whisky is
crafted with patience and purpose. Sip slowly, and savour the stories that bind us
across time and tide.

WHALETALE XO POTSTILL CAPE BRANDY

Distilled on 26/06/2014, a masterfully aged XO Potstill brandy.

In the 1930s, the quiet fishing town of Hermanus in South Africa witnessed an
extraordinary event in which a lone southern right whale, later named Wendy,
became stranded on the town’s shore. The local community came together to
guide her back to the ocean. Grateful for their kindness, Wendy returned each
year from Antarctica to the same cove where she had been rescued, often with
her calves by her side. Her visits became such a popular spectacle that it inspired
the creation of the annual Hermanus Whale Festival, one of the world’s premier
whale watching events.

Much like Wendy’s return to Hermanus, Whale Tale Brandy is a tribute to the
enduring bonds that stand the test of time. So raise a glass to her legacy and the
stories that bring us closer.
