Crafted in small batches at our distillery in Monroe, using only NC and SC peaches supporting our local farmers. Every batch of this Peach Brandy begins with 750 pounds of carefully selected fruit, captured at peak ripeness to preserve its natural aroma and vibrant character.

Enjoy this spirit fresh - showcasing bright stone-fruit notes, floral aromatics, and a silky mouthfeel; or aged in new American oak, where gentle oak aging introduces hints of vanilla, soft caramel, and spice that deepen and balance the peach’s natural sweetness.

No artificial flavors or additives - just fruit, time, and traditional distillation.

Khan Tervel

This brandy we named after another great ruler, Khan Tervel, the son of Khan Asparuh. He was the only Khan to be honored with the title Caesar. He received this honor after helping to save Constantinople from an Arab siege in 717 AD. This event was a major turning point in both Byzantine and European history. Interesting fact - Tervel Peak in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Tervel of Bulgaria.

Vetus Distillery is a peach brandy producer focused on small-batch production and hands-on craftsmanship. Visitors from Monroe and the Charlotte area often experience this spirit during guided tastings at our distillery, where we share the story behind each bottle.
