Character & context

Understanding Armenian Brandy

Armenian brandy is a grape spirit associated with the country's vineyards, distillation and oak maturation. Mature examples may suggest dried apricot, vanilla, nuts and spice. Older historical usage of the word cognac does not make it French Cognac; read origin and producer detail directly. Different houses and age ranges offer their own interpretations.
