Sula Vineyards has announced the launch of J – a Cognac-style brandy great also as a base for a wide variety of cocktails. Being the second handcrafted premium spirit from the ‘House of Sula’ – J is made using grapes from Nashik Valley. The grape brandy is aged in small French oak barrels which impart a smooth and distinctive taste, also giving J a spectrum of aromas and a complex character of a Cognac-style brandy.J is double distilled in small batches using small alembic copper pot stills, resulting in an exceptionally smooth liquor and a distinct character. It is golden in colour with developed notes of dried fruits, vanilla, tobacco and honey. J comes packaged in a bottle design inspired from the mid-19th century, a style known as ‘standard fifth’ or ‘lettered brandy’ with embossing. The bottle’s slender design, broad masculine shoulders and long neck makes it stand apart. The unique design of the Fabrizio cap which is tamper proof, also ensures a smooth flow of the liquid from the bottle, tilted in any direction. While JANUS is a 100% premium grape spirit, J is a made of 50% premium grape spirit blended with other premium spirit.
