Ararat
Ararat is an Armenian brandy that has been produced by the Yerevan Brandy Company since 1887. It is made from Armenian white grapes and spring water, according to a traditional method.
“Ordinary Brandies” are aged for 3, 4, 5, or 6 years, the soft flavour of the Brandy being based on selected brands of wines and pure spring water, which help to create a unique taste for each type of Ararat Brandy. The “Aged Brandies” of 10, 15, 18, and 20 years each have their own unique taste and specific dark golden flavoured.
The distinctive aroma and rich bouquet of these Brandies allowed the Yerevan Brandy Company to enjoy considerable success in international exhibitions and tastings. Ararat Brandy is not only popular in Armenia, but in many of the former states of the Soviet Union, chief among them Russia (where it’s known under the name Armjanskij Konjak), Georgia, Ukraine and Belarus. In the Russian-speaking countries of the former Soviet Union the Armenian Brandy is marketed as cognac, even though technically it is not. The term “brandy” has never really caught on and the full name of such beverages is “cognac-style wine”.
