30 Mar 2017 Introducing Klipdrift Ngqo – Distell’s new brandy RTD

In what is surely a take on the old favourite, brandy and ginger ale, Distell has launched Klipdrift Ngqo, a new ready-to-drink beverage designed to satisfy South Africa’s ‘thirst for refreshment and flavour’.

Says the press release:

Klipdrift Ngqo has been created by the master brandy blenders at Klipdrift who used their expertise to balance the smooth boldness of brandy with enticing fruity notes of citrus, apple and a hint of ginger.

Available in thirst quenching 440ml cans, Klipdrift Ngqo is gold in colour, with an invigorating fizz and a slightly creamy head when poured.

‘Ngqo’ is a Zulu word that means “hits the spot” or “an exact fit” explains Klipdrift marketing manager, Genius Mnywabe.

“The inspiration for Klipdrift Ngqo comes from the spirit of friendship and conviviality that we find all over our country.

“While pronouncing the Ngqo click might be a tongue-twister for some, Klipdrift Ngqo is guaranteed to be a palate pleaser for those who do not want to be restricted to one set of flavour profiles.

“It’s a delightful fusion of flavours and refreshment that will appeal to those who enjoy wine, beer or brandy.”

Klipdrift Ngqo will be on the shelves of all leading liquor stores from March.
