Product Description

Premium Mount Brandy is a blended brandy, often containing a mix of extra neutral alcohol (ENA) and grape-based brandy concentrates. Its strong profile and affordable pricing make it popular for mass-market consumption. Mount Brandy is typically unaged or lightly aged, with some versions using caramel colouring to achieve a consistent amber hue. While not classified as XO or VSOP, it remains a go-to choice for many due to its bold flavor and wide availability.

FAQs

Is Mount Brandy a "Pure" grape brandy?
Most Mount Brandy labels are blended brandies, with the base being a mix of ENA and grape concentrates. For a 100% grape-distilled experience, consider brands like Mont Castle French Grape Brandy by John Distilleries, which is a premium alternative.

Why is the price different in every state?
In India, alcohol taxes are state-specific, meaning each state government sets its own excise duty, luxury tax, and retail margins, leading to significant price fluctuations.

How should it be stored?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place. Unlike wine, distilled spirits do not mature in the bottle after opening, so ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
