The Christian Brothers VS Brandy is made using a traditional pot still production method, similar to cognacs. It is aged in oak barrels for 2 to 6 years to develop its smooth and aromatic flavor. Carefully selected barrels are blended to create a brandy that is smooth, full-bodied, and has well-balanced fruit flavors. The dark caramel color complements the fruity bouquet and soft texture unique to Christian Brothers VS Brandy. This brandy, established in 1882, is one of the oldest and best-selling American spirits, consistently ranking among the top three brandies. It is made from the finest grape varietals in the fertile San Joaquin Valley, California, using the same copper pot still production method perfected over 75 years ago. The result is an endlessly smooth brandy with a soft texture. Tasting this brandy blind, one might mistake it for bourbon due to its aromas of vanilla, maple, and char smoke. It is sweet on the tongue with flavors of caramel and maple, and has a bittersweet finish.
