Ararat Erebuni 30-Year-Old Brandy

"If a gourmet blend exists, revealing the rich successive aromas that great cognac can obtain, it is called Paradis. Paradis opens the gates of a refined, unique and elegant dimension.These aromas endlessly stretch and renew themselves, leading to a harmonious depth in the mouth. Honey, floral notes, truffle and mild spices fill the palate in an explosion of flavors. Very soft hints of cardamom and cinnamon, as well as candied fruit give way to fragrant notes recalling dried roses or sweet briar rose jam. Paradis plays with these fragrant paradoxes, offering an endless consistency to the palate." —producer

"The delightful 10-year-old brandy Dvin is the first masterpiece of the ArArAt Exclusive Collection, created in 1945 by Markar Sedrakyan, master-blender of the Yerevan Brandy Company. The legendary blend named after the legendary medieval capital of Armenia, Dvin is the embodiment of a new bright and modern image. The crown of the Arshakids represents a new symbol, the reigning dynasty during Dvin's most prosperous times. Merchant caravans were a reminder of several centuries when Dvin was an important trading center on the Great Silk Road, and one of the greatest cities in the Oriental world, known for its incredible luxury. The heritage and wealth of the medieval city is reflected in the magnificence and complexity of this unique brandy. Thanks to extra-long ageing in oak barrels, Dvin acquires a rich amber color with nuances of deep mahogany. The subtle aroma of cloves is ideally balanced by the notes of dried fruit, and the bright tinges of forest nuts reveal the spicy, rich flavor of the brandy." —producer

"Vaspurakan (Armenian for 'noble country') was one of the historical sovereign principalities of Greater Armenia in the 9th century that owed its prosperity to the ruling Artsruni dynasty. In ancient times Vaspurakan was considered the Promised Land and a paradise on earth. The Vaspurakan princes were among the greatest architects of their time: in a very short time, they built 10 cities, thousands of castles, citadels, and churches. Vaspurakan is an intense amber color with a tinge of 'old gold.' Bright, elegant and complex aroma with shades of spices, oak bark and dried fruit. At the end one can feel tinges of balm. Rich, complex, complete, astonishingly mild and rounded taste. Light sharpness at the end is smoothed by clearly expressed sweet notes. Long and noble aftertaste." —producer
