ARARAT 15YO VASPURAKAN BRANDY 0,7L + KARTON

Where does the name Vaspurakan come from?

The name Vaspurakan refers to a medieval Armenian principality. The producer chose it deliberately as a reference to the history, character and nobility of Armenia. As a result, the name of the brandy is more than just a product designation and directly connects it with the heritage of the country from which it originates.

The character of the spirit itself is also strongly connected with the Armenian tradition of brandy production. ARARAT uses Armenian white grape varieties and Caucasian oak, which is used to make the casks in which the distillates are aged. It is this extended ageing and contact with wood that help develop distinctive notes of fruit, spices, vanilla and chocolate. Brandy of this style is best discovered unhurriedly, allowing the aromas to gradually unfold.

Frequently asked questions about Ararat Vaspurakan 15YO

What does 15 years of ageing bring to the brandy?

Fifteen years allows the distillates to remain in prolonged contact with wood, gradually developing their colour, aroma and flavour. In the case of Vaspurakan, this results in a mature, multilayered profile in which fruit sweetness is accompanied by spices, coffee and toasted notes.

Is Ararat Vaspurakan a sweet brandy?

It has a distinct sweetness of Armenian dried fruit, but this is not the only element of its character. The aromas of spices, coffee and candied fruit add complexity, while the slightly astringent finish balances the sweetness and leads into a long aftertaste.

Why does coffee appear in the aroma?

Coffee is one of the aromatic notes mentioned by the producer in the description of Vaspurakan. It accompanies spices, candied fruit and toasted bread, creating a more elaborate bouquet than that of a typically fruit-driven brandy.

Is Vaspurakan suitable for a relaxed tasting?

Yes. With a 15-year-old brandy, it is worth taking the time to discover its successive layers of aroma. The producer recommends tasting Vaspurakan in a dedicated brandy glass, which allows the colour, aroma and flavour of the spirit to be appreciated more fully.

What does “Vaspurakan” mean on the label?

It is a name referring to the medieval Armenian principality of Vaspurakan. The producer emphasises that the choice of this name was intended to reflect the character and nobility of Armenia. As a result, the bottle represents not only a mature brandy but also a reference to the history of the country.

What pairs best with Ararat Vaspurakan?

Vaspurakan's profile pairs well with additions that highlight its fruit sweetness, coffee and spicy accents. Consider dark chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, coffee-based desserts and mature cheeses.

• Dark chocolate – highlights the deeper coffee and toasted notes.
• Dried apricots, plums and figs – naturally complement the sweetness of Armenian dried fruit.
• Walnuts and hazelnuts – pair well with the mature, oaky character of the brandy.
