Keo Five Kings 70cl Bottle

I picked up the Keo Five Kings Brandy on a bit of a whim, curious about this Cypriot spirit — and I’m so glad I did. It turned out to be a very enjoyable, smooth, and flavourful brandy that punches well above its weight in terms of quality and value.The bottle itself is classic and elegant, with a traditional label and a gold-accented cap that gives it a bit of regal charm. At 70cl and 32% ABV, it’s a proper spirit with a smooth finish and an inviting aroma that makes it perfect for sipping or mixing.On the nose, it offers a warm, mellow bouquet — soft notes of dried fruit, a hint of vanilla, and a subtle oaky undertone. There’s nothing overpowering or harsh about it, which is refreshing for a brandy in this price range.The taste is where it really shines. It’s smooth and rounded, with a light sweetness that makes it incredibly easy to drink. You get flavours of caramel, baked apple, gentle spice, and a faint nutty note in the background. There’s no burn or astringency — just a warming, pleasant finish that lingers slightly on the palate.I’ve enjoyed it both neat and over ice, and it performs well in both settings. It also mixes beautifully in cocktails — try it in a sidecar or a brandy sour for a mellow twist. It brings depth without overpowering the other ingredients.It’s a bit lighter in body and strength than some of the classic French brandies, so it might not appeal to those who want a bold, oaky dram — but for casual sipping or entertaining guests, it’s spot-on.One thing to note is that this is not a VSOP or XO style brandy — it’s more approachable and designed for relaxed enjoyment rather than a complex tasting experience. But at this price point, it's hard to fault.In short, Keo Five Kings is a surprisingly refined and drinkable brandy with broad appeal. Whether you’re stocking a drinks cabinet or after something easygoing and affordable, this bottle is a great pick. Highly recommended for fans of smooth, mellow spirits.

Although I don't drink brandy I brought this for my dad after he mentioned drinking it in the 60s while stationed over in cyprus! He said it's one of the best he's tried and brought back some great memories of his younger days

It's a great drink and never disappointed with the odd tipple of this Brandy, its so smooth to drink,even the bottle is worth the buy alone.

This brandy has a lovely smooth flavour. Great value and a lovely gift.

This brandy was lovely. It was smooth and full of flavour.

Having been drinking in moderation Keo five kings for over 40 years I find in an outstanding Brandy with a n excellent taste and most importantly does not burn like other brandies. A great drink all year round and in particular warming in the winter months

This is for an 80th birthday in January. (One of his favourite tipples) arrived in perfect condition and sooner than expected. I'm sure he'll love it!

Excellent drink, beautiful flavour. Can be drank on its own or with mixer works really well both ways, really lovely. Great buy for a great price 👍
