A truly superb brandy from Armenian outfit Ararat. Whilst this distillery is little known in Western Europe, it is extremely popular in the eastern reaches of the continent.

This brandy has been aged for an incredible 20 years, with the final result being a staggeringly complex spirit. Ararat Nairi serves up notes of gentle figs, flowers, dates, raisins and dried cranberry, followed by some slightly prickling spice, plums, bright grapes, vanilla, cedarwood, toasted almond, coconut, dark chocolate, Bourbon-style oak, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

The bottling is named after the Nairi people, who inhabited the Armenian Highlands thousands of years ago.

A cracking grape brandy, that matches the quality of the very best XO Cognacs.

Alc. 40%
