A Viceroy is a high-ranking official ruling a territory as the monarch's representative, derived from Latin for "in place of the king," acting with royal authority in colonial settings, but "Viceroy" also refers to a popular South African brandy known for its rich, fruity notes, and a North American butterfly mimicking the Monarch. The term signifies a deputy ruler in colonial empires (like Spain's New Spain), while in commerce and nature, it's a recognizable brand and species.
