Product Information

Over the decades, ARARAT has become a real symbol of the highest quality, confirmed by numerous international awards and certificates, the most important of which is the recognition of consumers — lovers, connoisseurs and admirers of the Armenian ARARAT brandy in many countries. Dvin is apart of the Ararat range (includ­ing Ararat 3, Ararat 5, Ani 6-year-old, Otborny 7-year-old, Akhta­mar 10-year-old, Tonakan 15-year-old, and Nairi 20-year-old. There are also some exclu­sive brandies: Ere­buni 25, Kilikia 30, Spara­pet 40, Arme­nia 20 and Dvin. The lat­ter is 10 years old but 50% alcohol.

We particularly like the fable that Armenian brandy began its story when the first grape vine was planted at the exact location on Mount Ararat where Noah’s ark came to rest after the biblical flood. Our tour guide was fantastic and the information she gave us along the way was actually really interesting. Let’s face it, the only reason I ever take an alcohol tour is for the tasting at the end, am I right? (Well.. aside from the tour of Moet and Chandon’s cellars in Champagne, because that was insane) ..One of the most important aspects is that the grapes used to produce Armenian brandy are all indigenous. While hundreds of different types are cultivated in the country, those used to make brandy are limited to a handful of specific varieties.

The judges were so impressed that they gave Shustov the right to label his products as Cognac, even though they weren’t produced in the Cognac region. The best known brands of Armenian brandy are A.K.Z., Ararat and Noy (with the latter both being part of YBC). Another lesser-seen label is that of Kilikia, who has adopted the definitions of VSOP and XO for their offerings, alongside the age statement and stars that are required when labeling. Outside of the country itself it’s highly unlikely to find any other branded Armenian offerings. The impressive HQ of Ararat Brandy Much as France delights in the uniqueness of Cognac, so Armenians have the same passion for their brandy.
