The story

The story behind E&j

E&J Brandy comes from California wine grapes and the Gallo brothers, Ernest and Julio, who ran their first brandy under the Cream of California label in 1938. The E&J name itself arrived in 1975, after five years of recipe testing at the Fresno distillery. The base wine is distilled on continuous column stills within three months of fermentation, then aged in American oak, including white oak bourbon barrels, for a minimum of two years.

Batches are charcoal filtered and blended across a cellar of more than 275,000 barrels, which is how a bottle bought in Commack tastes the same as one bought a decade ago. French Colombard, Folle Blanche, St. Emilion and early Barbera grapes go in. A soft, sweet California style comes out.

Good to know

E&j questions, answered

Is E&J a whiskey or a brandy?
E&J is a brandy, distilled from California wine grapes, not a whiskey. It is aged in American oak barrels, including white oak bourbon barrels, which gives it vanilla and toasted oak notes that drinkers often mistake for whiskey.
Who owns E&J Brandy?
E&J Brandy is produced by E. & J. Gallo Winery, founded by brothers Ernest and Julio Gallo. The brand launched in 1975 after five years of recipe testing at the company's Fresno distillery, though the brothers first released brandy in 1938.
What is the difference between E&J VS, VSOP and XO?
VS ages at least two years, VSOP ages longer and is charcoal filtered for a richer maple and vanilla palate, and XO rests at least six years in oak for a bolder finish. All three are bottled at 80 proof.
How do you serve E&J Brandy?
Serve E&J neat at room temperature, over ice, or as a cocktail base. Its soft, sweet profile works in a Brandy Alexander, Sidecar, Metropolitan or Brandy Old Fashioned, and it pairs well with charcuterie, mild cheeses and caramelized desserts.
