Christian Brothers

Christian Brothers has been crafting American grape brandy since 1882, originally produced by the Christian Brothers religious order in California. The brand is known for creating smooth, approachable brandies using traditional pot still distillation methods and aging in American oak barrels. Their brandies showcase the rich fruit character of California grapes with balanced oak influence.

The Christian Brothers portfolio features their flagship VSOP and premium XO expressions, each aged to develop complex vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit notes. The brandy is produced using copper pot stills and aged in charred American oak barrels, following traditional French brandy-making techniques adapted for California grapes. The brand has maintained consistent quality standards throughout its history, focusing on creating brandies suitable for sipping neat or mixing in classic cocktails. Christian Brothers represents one of America's longest-running brandy traditions, combining Old World craftsmanship with New World innovation. The aging process develops the characteristic smoothness and complexity that defines the brand.
