Unique among United States brandy producers, Korbel Brandy controls production from grape to bottle. Handcrafted in small batches since 1889, Korbel Brandy is aged to perfection in premium fire-toasted oak barrels to achieve golden amber color, generous butterscotch aroma and extra smooth taste. The Korbel Brandy portfolio includes four truly distinctive brandies: rich, flavorful Korbel California Brandy; complex, sumptuous Korbel V.S.O.P. Gold Reserve; sophisticated, exceptionally smooth Korbel 12; and Korbel XS, which blends Madagascar vanilla, natural orange essence and spices for a one-of-a-kind taste.
