Founded in 1982 near Ukiah in Mendocino County by Hubert Germain-Robin, a descendant of a Cognac-making family, and Ansley Coale, the distillery set out to make world-class brandy in California using traditional alembic pot stills. The XO is distilled from wines of unusual quality and aged in the house's finest barrels, and it is bottled at 80 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a seasonal, limited offering here at The Booze Outlet, available while supplies last.

By distilling high-quality wines slowly in alembic pot stills, the traditional Cognac method, and aging the spirit in carefully selected barrels, the founders helped prove that California could produce brandy to rival the best of France. The XO represents the top of the range, built from the distillery's finest barrels for depth, balance, and complexity. It is a bottle that rewards slow sipping and makes a memorable, thoughtful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e XO Brandy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germain-Robin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mendocino County, California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alembic pot still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982, near Ukiah, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, vanilla, honey, baking spice, oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat in a snifter or tulip glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9349244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff8e7;border:2px solid #f9a825;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy From The Booze Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔒 \u003cstrong\u003eSecure checkout:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSL encrypted, 100% safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 \u003cstrong\u003eShips in 1 to 2 business days:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast, discreet packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🪪 \u003cstrong\u003eAge-verified delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Must be 21+ to purchase and receive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏆 \u003cstrong\u003ePremium spirits specialists:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curated selection, expert sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💬 \u003cstrong\u003eReal customer support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Questions?
