Product Debut Of The Year GOLD Award

X&O Barrel Whisky

X&O Barrel Whisky
X&O Barrel Whisky

X&O is a premium blend of the best scotch malts matured in American bourbon casks and the finest Indian grain spirits. Its exquisitely smooth finish and well-balanced flavour will delight you with every sip. The term “X&O” is derived from the modern short-code language used by millennials to express their love and affection; the letter “X” stands for “Kisses,” and the letter “O”‘s circular shape signifies a hug.

“Keeping a consumer-first approach helps us in delivering great products and brands. We are honoured to receive these unprecedented 7 Gold’s at Spiritz. It gives us the confidence and motivation to do better as we premiumise our portfolio.”

Bikram Basu, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Allied Blenders & Distillers

The single batch of blended scotch whisky is distilled, blended, and bottled in Scotland. It is a limited edition offering. Spanish and American white oak bourbon casks are used to age the liquor. With a remarkable mouthfeel, it offers a blend of gentle spices, honey, creamy maltiness, and a hint of spiced oak.

“We take immense pride in the craftmanship of our blends in ABD as we compose them meticulously to touch the imagination of the consumers. It is heartening to see new blends like Sterling Reserve Brandy win top quality independent jury awards, and Srishti, an innovative whisky, with the goodness of curcumin at its core.”
