Close on the heels of the success of Paul John whiskies, the Goa-based distillery has ventured into the premium brandy segment with the release of Paul John XO, a 100% Indian grape brandy. Made from the famed Ugni blanc and rich Bangalore purple grapes, the brandy is matured in specially selected, medium toasted, new French Limousine oak barrels.

With gentle honeyed aromas, orange zest and a touch of herbs that enhance the tender raisin and sweet oak flavours, the exotic Paul John XO is bottled at 46% ABV and has been released in the US, Europe, UK, South Africa, Japan, Taiwan and India. Other brands owned by the company include Original Choice, Mont Castle and Roulette brandy and whisky, Big Banyan and Ampersand wines.
