New King Louis XIV XO French Brandy is an exceptional extra-old expression of premium French spirits craft, paying tribute to the historic grandeur of France's sun king. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills using select white wine grapes from premium French vineyards, the spirit undergoes patient maturation in tightly grained Limousin oak casks. This long aging process imparts a beautiful deep amber color and a rich, multifaceted bouquet of sweet vanilla bean, ripe plums, honeyed raisins, and toasted oakwood. On the palate, it is remarkably smooth and velvety, offering layers of caramel, dried apricot, sweet baking spices, and a long, warm oak finish. Elegantly bottled in a decanter-style presentation, it stands as a hallmark of European brandy excellence.

Breakdown of reviewer opinions
Gomti Nagar, Lucknow • May 12, 2026
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up New King Louis XIV XO French Brandy. At ₹790 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Toasted Limousin Oakwood and Honeyed Raisins & Plums pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated Scotch Whisky by New King. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Toasted Limousin Oakwood and Creamy Vanilla & Toffee. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Hazratganj was a major hit, especially alongside local Chicken Shami Kebab!”

“I'm thoroughly impressed by New King's execution here. The palate is extremely rich with a refined finish highlighting Honeyed Raisins & Plums. At the Lucknow price of ₹790, it's easily one of the best choices in its segment paired with Baked Sandesh.”
