Armenian Award Coffee Brandy

Crafted on a base of 10-year-old brandy. Tasting Notes:
This expression is like an adventure through an Eastern bazaar—rich, mysterious, and laced with exotic charm. Upon opening, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee fills the air, entwined with notes of cocoa, toffee, and a hint of spice, evoking the atmosphere of an old café in Yerevan. The palate is smooth, where the brandy’s warmth meets the depth of coffee, creating a layered and flavorful experience. The sweetness is well-balanced, and the finish offers a delicate interplay of bittersweet notes—like a lingering, unforgettable romance in a faraway land. Whether sipped neat or paired with dark chocolate, this is a drink to get lost in. Simply put, this isn’t just a brandy—it’s a soulful story in a glass, made for adventurers eager to discover new tastes.

Ararat Brandy Factory, established in 1895, has over 124 years of experience in brandy production. The distillery crafts its brandy using white grapes and mountain spring water, following traditional methods. “Ordinary brandy” is aged for three to six years, while “vintage brandy” is aged between 10 to 50 years.

Armenian brandy is primarily exported to former Soviet Union countries and Europe. In Russian-speaking nations of the former Soviet Union, Armenian brandy is sold as Cognac. In 1900, Armenian brandy won a grand prize in Paris, and France granted it the legal right to be labeled “Cognac” — a designation that lasted until after World War II.

Armenian brandy is considered the national liquor of Armenia. Anyone visiting the country is encouraged to taste it, and most people make sure to bring a few bottles home before leaving.

So, how does one enjoy the world-renowned Armenian Cognac brandy?
The secret is: wait until evening. Slice up some peaches, place some dark chocolate nearby, and play smooth jazz in the background. Take a glass of brandy, inhale its rich chocolate aroma, then slowly sip it. The smooth, warm brandy glides down your throat, leaving a lingering finish full of chocolate, apricot, prune, and oak barrel notes.
