Ararat 5 Year Old Brandy, Armenian tradition with a smooth and balanced character
Ararat 5 Year Old Brandy is one of the most recognised expressions of Armenia’s long-standing brandy-making tradition. Produced in Armenia, a country with a deep-rooted history in wine distillation, it reflects a classic, well-structured style that is easy to enjoy.
At Licorea, we select brandies that genuinely represent their origin. Ararat 5 Year Old stands out for its balance between fruit, oak and smoothness. It is a solid reference within the aged brandy category, suitable both for newcomers and for regular enjoyment.
Armenian origin and selected wine base
Made from carefully selected white wines, this brandy follows traditional distillation methods. Armenia benefits from favourable climatic conditions for vine growing, with warm summers and cold winters that encourage proper ripening.
The resulting spirit is matured for at least five years in oak casks. This ageing period adds structure and gentle toasted nuances without masking the fruity base.
The result is a balanced brandy, with integrated oak and a rounded profile.
Oak ageing and aromatic development
During maturation, contact with the wood softens the alcohol and brings notes of vanilla, caramel and light spice. Five years of ageing allow complexity to develop without leading to an overly intense profile.
Within our brandy category, Ararat 5 Year Old is a particularly appealing option for those seeking a spirit with character that remains approachable. It works equally well for relaxed after-dinner moments or more informal occasions.
How to enjoy Ararat 5 Year Old Brandy
Ararat 5 Year Old Brandy can be enjoyed neat, at room temperature, in a balloon glass or tulip glass. A few drops of water may also be added to soften it further if desired.
It pairs well after a meal, accompanied by nuts or dark chocolate. It can also be used in classic mixed drinks where a brandy with character is desired, but without excessive oak influence.
