Made from the famed Ugni Blanc and the rich Bangalore purple grape, the brandy is matured in specially selected, medium toasted new French limousine oak barrels.
Paul John XO is bottled at 46% ABV and is available across select countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland and India.
'It's a great honour for our XO to be awarded Gold at the World Brandy Awards. The appreciation of our single malts had led me to consider venturing into premium brandy and through research we discovered Indian grapes such as the Bangalore Purple and Ugni Blanc proffered the rare and exotic flavour profile perfect for an XO. We chose to use medium toasted new French limousine oak barrels for Paul John XO to ensure that the experienced palate would feel comfortable with the XO and yet be able to enjoy the exclusive tropical richness that only Paul John XO offers.'- Paul P John, Chairman.

About Paul John XO
An exceptional masterpiece from the tropical coasts of Goa, the Paul John XO is perhaps India's answer to the renowned Cognac and Armagnac. Created from the famous Ugni Blanc grapes, this exotic brandy is matured for over 10 years in specially selected medium toasted new French limousine oak barrels.
Sweetly honeyed aromas, deliciously resonate with fresh fig, strawberry liquorice, orange zest and a touch of herbs that brilliantly sets off the light butterscotch.
Sweet cranberry and succulent rum raisin arise in beautifully balanced yet delectably complex flavours.
The finish is lengthy, and intricately meshed with tremendous notes of sweet oak and an alluring natural caramel.
