Paul John XO has been honored with a gold at the esteemed World Brandy Awards 2021 hosted in the United Kingdom in the Wine Brandy (World) category.
An exceptional masterpiece from the tropical coasts of Goa – Paul John XO, a 100% Indian Grape Brandy, matured in exquisite French limousine oak barrels. Honeyed aromas of fresh fig, orange zest, and a touch of herbs enhance succulent raisin, cranberry, and sweet oak flavors that lead to a gloriously lengthy finish. Beautifully balanced yet delectably complex, here’s bottled delight for brandy connoisseurs across the globe.
“It’s a great honor for our XO to be awarded a Gold at the World Brandy Awards.”
“We chose medium toasted new French barrels from Limousin oak for Paul John XO to ensure that the experienced palate would feel comfortable with the brandy and yet be able to enjoy the exclusive tropical richness that only Paul John XO offers.”
