E&J Brandy XO 750ml

E&J XO is the extra-aged flagship of E&J Gallo's brandy line, one of the best-selling American brandies. The XO designation signals extended barrel aging beyond E&J's standard VS bottling, aiming for a smoother, deeper spirit than the entry-level version. Expect caramel, raisin, and toasted oak on the nose, a palate rounded out by vanilla and baking spice, and a smooth, moderately warm finish. It's an accessible, affordable brandy built for both sipping and classic brandy cocktails, rather than positioned to compete with French cognac. It's a dependable, everyday brandy rather than a rare or hard-to-find bottling.

How to drink E&J XO

It's smooth enough to sip neat over ice, but also holds up well in a brandy old fashioned or a simple brandy and soda.
