According to him, besides delighting consumers and giving them a rich range of offerings to pick from, the debut of the new brandy brand also demonstrated the company’s confidence in the nation’s marketplace and its commitment to investing in it despite all odds.

He explained that a lot of care has been put into the production of the Firemore Blended Brandy from the ingredients sourced to enhance its quality and enable the locally-produced spirit compete favourably with its foreign counterparts.
