An Australian exploration of the craft of VS, VSOP and XO since 1925. Dr William Angove established a distillery in Renmark in 1910. His plan was to make a plain spirit for fortifying wine. In 1925, William’s son Carl decided to create a new style of Australian brandy that was lighter and more delicate than anything previously produced. His journey became our journey. His passion to do one thing brilliantly became our passion. His ambition to show the world another face of Australian produce excellence became our ambition. His ultimate purpose to create an Australian spirit of iconic world standard and a uniquely Australian expression of brandy became our purpose. TASTING NOTES colour aroma flavour age alcohol Golden amber. Citrus and stonefruits open to layers of candied fruits. Some quince jelly and marmalade matched with integrated sweet oak. The palate shows the candied stonefruits of the nose with an alcohol warmth embraced by fruit intensity, cedary sweet oak and aged rancio character.

Minimum spirit age 15 year old. 40% AWARDS Royal Australian Spirit Awards 2024 ~ Gold, Trophies ‘Champion Brandy’ & ‘Champion Spirit in Show’ Royal Hobart Wine Show 2024 ~ Gold and Trophy ‘Best Brandy’ Riverland Wine Show 2024 ~ Gold and Trophy ‘Best Brandy’ Tasting Australia Spirit Awards 2024 ~ Gold Medal and Best in Class Royal Perth Distilled Spirits Awards 2024 ~ Gold and Trophy ‘Champion Brandy’ Hong Kong International Wine and Spirit Competition 2024 ~ Gold and Trophy ‘Best Grape Brandy’ Melbourne Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards 2024 ~ Gold

Halliday Wine Companion - Fredd Higgins - May 2025 - 95 Points
 “This brandy is all about the subtle integration of fruit and oak. At 15 years of age, it’s impressive that the oak hasn’t taken over, showing serious attention to detail in the cask selection and blend ng process. A delicate nose of waxed fruit hints at real power despite the relatively low alcohol, 
and the oak is a teasing rather than aggressive presence. The easy-going palate reveals layers of marzipan, orange cake, and gentle tannin, making it effortless to drink. This has long been one of my favourite Australian spirits, so I’m trying not to let confirmation bias get in the way, but there’s nothing to fault. The texture is there in spades, a difficult achievement when grapes have far less 
naturally occurring oils than grains.”
 Dan Murphy’s Decoded Spirits Awards 2022
 “This is a star of an Australian product that was up against some very heavy international 
competition including Cognac and Armagnac. This brandy is subtle, yet balanced. Beautifully 
crafted by St Agnes Distillery in South Australia.”
 Bartender Magazine - Sam Bygrave - November 2015
 “St Agnes XO is a pot still brandy that is deeply coloured and complex on the palate. It is an 
aromatic brandy with subtle rancio aromas, with smooth, dry, and long flavours leading to a 
nutty oak finish.” 
Theaureview.com - Chris Singh - 14.08.15
 “A gorgeous nose of caramel, nutmeg and stonefruits is immediate, connected with the fruity 
palate that brings vanilla, marmalade, and raisins.  It’s slightly spicier and has more bite than 
one would expect, complex with a long, buttery and slightly nutty finish of orange cake and 
caramel.  You will feel a great warmth in the chest as this goes down.” 
SA Life Magazine—David Sly—December 2014
 “It’s a drink that has fallen off most people’s radar, yet we forget that some of the best brandy 
available continues to be made in South Australia, by Angove’s.  The standard St Agnes Three 
Star Brandy - a winning pot still recipe since 1925 - represents great value, but if you want 
something truly special opt for the St Agnes XO Seven Star Brandy, deeply coloured from a  
long maturation in oak that gives a pleasing nutty aftertaste.” 
Sydney Morning Herald—Huon Hooke—07.10.14—95 Points
 “This superbly packaged brandy has deep amber colour and magnificent marmalade,  
old-leather aromas of terrific complexity. It’s minimum 20 years old and powerful on the  
palate, with pleasingly understated oak, significant alcohol warmth on the finish and  
enormous persistence.”

The Details of the Height of British Naval Power
Format: Hardcover
This is the final volume in Rodger's three part series. This coves a lot of ground that includes Britain's height of imperial/naval hegemony and then its exhaustion after two world wars. Read this book if you want to learn about the details that actually go into an important national organization like the Royal Navy. Things like politics, administration, logistics, ship design, talent pipelines, engineering difficulties, etc. Rodgers goes deep. Things like: 1) Fire control on big guns on warships is a very hard technical challenge and wasn't really solved until the 2nd World War with more advanced electronics. 2) In the coal fired age of ships, most of the navy were coal stokers. The limit of range was actually their exhaustion, not how much coal was on board. 3) Twice the number of bombs were dropped on Malta in WW2 as on London during the Blitz! 4) Britain's naval dominance was tied to economic dominance and was sea power/trading based. Sea based trade is so powerful and economical that it was cheaper to ship a ton of coal by sea than train within Britain itself! 5) Britain had a monopoly over undersea cables for global communications. They used this as a weapon to spy on enemy communications and to cut off others access to the network. Sound familiar to the SWIFT banky network today? 6) Welsh coal was the best coal. So good that the Austo-Hungarian navy stockpiled before the war enough that they used it exclusively throughout WW1.

A clear and concise book
Format: Hardcover
Fascinating book. Berntsen provides some interesting insights and recommendations on how we should fix problems at the CIA and in the national security apparatus. At a time when most critics want to destroy the Agency, Berntsen provides some plain spoken sanity. Human Intelligence, Counterterrorism and National Leadership needs to be read by anyone entering into defense, foreign affairs or intelligence - and anyone else with an interest in how the CIA works. It is a fast and enjoyable read.

Skimming the Surface
Format: Hardcover
The essence of this book is to succinctly explain the role of CIA's National Clandestine Service (Directorate of Operations) in formulating and more importantly executing a coherent counter-terrorism strategy. Gary Berntsen is a retired CIA intelligence officer (clandestine service) with an impressive record of field assignments to his credit. He also clearly knows the ways of Washington D.C. in that this book is designed for those suffering from attention deficit disorder. While he raises several interesting point in the book, he also reveals an astonishing narrowness of view and tendency to reduce everything to its simplest terms. In his introductory `background' chapter Berntsen makes the dubious claim that the collection of intelligence from human sources (HUMINT) is the "primary mission of CIA." Apparently he is unaware that CIA was originally founded to produce all source finished intelligence and that the National Intelligence Council (NIC), until recently under CIA, was the final word in the U.S. Intelligence System. Nothing reveals the sorry state of CIA's Directorate of Intelligence better than this claim. In the same manner Berntsen is apparently oblivious to the availability and uses of intelligence collected by technical means. To his credit he does recognize that the best intelligence is more often available from open (non-classified) sources than from secret sources. Yet he neither expands nor follows up this observation. Berntsen more or less follows this pattern through out this book. For example he provides a brief discussion of the traditional Islamic Banking System called Hawalla, but is apparently unaware that the system is based on a recognized credit not cash and that money does not move across international borders. The system is widely trusted and is widely used by Muslim expatriates in the West and Saudi Arabia to send money home. For this reason Hawalla credit transfers providing money to terrorists are easily lost in a world wide mass of transactions. Yet it is possible to track Hawalla transactions and it has been done without "intensive manpower" allocations. Berntsen deserves a good deal of respect and credit for his obvious service to the U. S. and his dedication to the cause of clandestine intelligence operations and its hand maiden covert operations. Yet this book is a terminally superficial and ill-considered work by someone who not only should know better, but could have produced a first rate `practical guide' to a counter-terrorism strategy.
