E&J XO Brandy

American Brandy — California, USA

Reviewed October 2, 2020 (edited December 2, 2022)
2.0
2.0 out of 5 stars
Nose - maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, melted butter, butter pecan ice cream, raisin, high ethanol burn. Taste - butter pecan ice cream, french toast, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, hot crossed bun, brown sugar, caramel syrup, boozy raisin, moderate alcohol bite, finishing longer than expected with all the dessert flavors above mixed together. Another reviewer wrote that this tastes like all of your childhood’s worst nutritional decisions, and I completely agree. This is so dosed with chemically, artificial flavorings that it is almost pleasant. At the very least, this would make for a tasty, sweet mixer. It’s arguably a small step up from the VS and VSOP offerings, but that isn’t saying much.

    @ContemplativeFox It’s definitely not a sipper (at least for my tastes), but I have recently enjoyed it mixed with Coke. It did pretty well in a sangria we made recently as well.

    "This is so dosed with chemically, artificial flavorings that it is almost pleasant." I think you nailed it with that line. This was a really confusing brandy.
