PASSION IN THE PROCESS
We’re dedicated to crafting a drink you’re proud to share. That means having quality ingredients and the skill to use them. Lucky for you, we’ve got both. Here’s how E&J becomes the brandy you know and love.
Heard it through
The Grapevine
E&J’s secret to fresh flavor? The perfect mix of California grapes. The state’s mediterranean climate produces the nation’s most diverse mix, giving us the pick of the crop. We select the top grade grapes at ideal ripeness for superior brandy.
Perfect the
Ferment
You can’t have premium brandy without fine wine. Our fermentation process produces a quality wine that becomes the base of E&J.
The beat of our
OWN BARREL
We distill each vintage year of brandy within 3 months of fermentation to capture the freshest flavor and aroma. Each of our 275K barrels are unique, from the age and oakiness down to the drips in the wood, making it one of the most complex parts of distillation.
Better with
Age
Smooth things come to those who wait. Our brandy is aged in oak, and tasted throughout the aging process, to ensure top quality.
