Richot Brandy is a premium grape brandy, with Italian roots, that has become well-established in the Kenyan spirits market. It is aged for at least five years in oak casks (single oak barrels in Italy under Bonollo Distillery tradition), giving it deeper character and complexity. It’s a blend of quality grape brandy (and according to some local listings, grape and cane origin in some markets) designed to be flavourful yet smooth. Bottled at 40% ABV, Richot is aimed at consumers who appreciate matured brandy without the high cost of top-shelf imports.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Warm amber-gold colour, with clear, rich hue and moderate viscosity

- Palate: Smooth and full-bodied; sweet oak, caramel, vanilla, with underlying fruit tones and a touch of toasted wood; mellow mouthfeel
- Finish: Lingering warmth, oak, and vanilla with a clean fade; sweetness tempered by wood tannin

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water or one large ice cube to open up the flavours. Also good in simple brandy cocktails (e.g. brandy & cola) or alongside desserts like nut pies, chocolate, or caramel based sweet treats.
