Pressed from fine varietal grapes, E & J VSOP is distilled to concentrate the most desirable flavors. VSOP is charcoal filtered to create a most rich, rare and remarkable brandy, and mellowed in selected American Whit Oak casks to highlight the delicate grape flavors. The E & J brandy master chooses only the smoothest and reichest flavored of these special casks for this blend. The result is an exceptionally smooth, complex, and aromatic brandy. -Brandymaster
