Our Mission:

To reimagine and revitalize American Brandy for this generation and the next.

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the demand for premium liquor, particularly within the cognac and brandy market. Recognizing and capitalizing on this flourishing trend, Ronald Isley Liquid Gold is dedicated to meeting consumer preferences by offering the epitome of luxury in the form of our premium brandy. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our flagship product, Contagious XO, launched in late 2023.

The demand for Brandy has witnessed a remarkable surge within the ever-evolving landscape of the spirits industry. In a triumphant resurgence, Brandy's revenue in 2023 surpassed pre-pandemic figures for the first time, signaling a robust and promising trajectory. Projections indicate an anticipated 30% growth by 2027, solidifying Brandy's position among the top 5 fastest-growing spirits. This surge not only underscores the market's resilience but also positions Brandy as a key player in consumers' evolving preferences. As we delve into this dynamic landscape, the potential for capitalizing on this upward trend becomes increasingly evident, presenting a prime opportunity for us to position our premium brand, Contagious XO, as a frontrunner in this flourishing market.

In a groundbreaking collaboration, the legendary musical artist Ronald Isley and trailblazing figure Vanessa Braxton, the first African American female master distiller, joined forces to create an unparalleled masterpiece. This dynamic partnership seamlessly blended Ronald's discerning palate with Vanessa's unmatched expertise, culminating in creating the extraordinary Brandy we now celebrate as Contagious XO.

Renowned for his disruptive influence in the music industry, Ronald Isley has left an indelible mark as one of the few artists to achieve hits in every decade for seven consecutive decades. Bringing that same energy and skill to the realm of spirits, Ronald has elevated Contagious XO to embody the essence of his musical legacy.

Contagious XO is not just a Brandy - it stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of musical genius and masterful distillation. This extraordinary partnership reflects a commitment to pushing boundaries and setting new standards of excellence in the world of premium spirits. Join us in raising a toast to this unparalleled collaboration that has given birth to a Brandy transcending expectations, a true embodiment of visionary talents redefining the pinnacle of sophistication and taste.

Contagious XO was born from a meticulously crafted Brandy and matured over five years. The essence of our premium offering lies in its unique production process, where it undergoes a five-fold distillation and filtration, resulting in an unparalleled smoothness that sets it apart. Notably, Contagious XO takes pride in its gluten-free and non-GMO composition, catering to a diverse range of preferences.

Infused with the delicate notes of vanilla, apple, and the subtle nuances of red sherry, each sip becomes a journey into a symphony of flavors, elegantly dancing on the palate. This Brandy is not merely a beverage; it is an artful fusion of tradition and innovation, where the legacy of time-honored craftsmanship meets the cutting edge of modern distillation techniques. Contagious XO invites you to indulge in a sensory experience that transcends the ordinary, redefining the boundaries of what a premium Brandy can achieve.
