General Information
Ararat 5-Year-Old Brandy is a classic Armenian brandy, produced by the legendary Yerevan Brandy Company, which has been known for craftsmanship and tradition since 1887. The brandy is made from indigenous Armenian grapes, carefully distilled and aged for at least five years in Caucasian oak.
This aging gives Ararat its characteristic smoothness, warm color, and layered flavor – an honest and classic brandy with oriental finesse.
