Product Description
Morpheus XO is an Extra Old (XO) brandy, meaning it is made from aged distillates, providing a smooth drinking experience. The brandy is matured in French oak barrels for up to six years in India’s tropical climate, where the aging process is unique due to the use of molasses rather than grapes for distillation. However, high-quality grape distillates are used for the final blend, ensuring a premium taste. The result is a well-balanced, sophisticated brandy with deep, complex flavors.
