Buy Ararat Brandy
Behind the brand of Ararat you will find different types of brandies or cognacs. Ararat Brandies are characterized by full taste tones that give a harmonious, soft taste in the mouth. The aftertaste of most Ararat Brandy’s varieties is slightly fiery, creating an exciting combination of sweet and fierce in the mouth. The Ararat Brandies are ideal to combine with a nice dish or as a digestif after meals with an espresso. The brandies are made from various indigenous grape varieties that are grown both at large wine farms and at local growers. The harvest time of these grapes is between September and October. The sugar content in the grape is then still low, which ultimately benefits the taste of the Ararat Brandy. Well-known Ararat brandies are:
- Ani, at least six years old brandy. Named to the ancient capital of Armenia.
- Otborny, a brandy that can be sold after seven years of ripening. Rich taste, with a hint of orange.
- Akthamar, is only sold after it has matured for ten years. Intense and fiery in taste.
- Dvin, famous historical brand. Presented as a gift by Jozef Stalin to Winston Churchill during the Yalta conference. This cognac has also matured for at least ten years and is not inferior to its French counterpart.
