The story behind it

The maker

Originally founded in 1882 by the members of the Christian Brothers religious order in Martinez, California, this historic brand began producing sacramental wines and brandies. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the country's most recognized names in American brandy, celebrated for its smooth, double-distilled character.

How it is made

Distilled in copper pot stills and aged in select white oak barrels in California's San Joaquin Valley. The aging process leverages seasoned wood to impart classic vanilla undertones and a rounded mouthfeel.
