A delicate, flavorful, and perfectly-aged dram that is a fine Cognac in all ways but by name.

Yerevan Brandy Company has been producing “the pride of Armenia” Brandies since 1887. Armenia is actually ideally suited for grape growing since it has rich volcanic soils, sits at the same latitude as Italy and Spain, and has large bodies of water on both sides that moderate it’s continental climate. The grapes grow in a valley at the foot of the famous Mount Ararat — where Noah’s Art is said to have landed after the Great Flood. And Yerevan has named their exceptional line of ArArAt Brandies after the great mountain.

ArArAt Brandy 5 Year is the most popular and widely distributed of Yerevan’s spirits. It’s popularly called “5 Stars” due to the five-star icons on the label. Since ArArAt Brandies are not produced in the Cognac region of France they cannot use that term. But ArArAt Brandy 5 Year is made from fine Armenian grapes from some of the oldest vineyards in the world, fermented with local yeast strains, distilled in small batch copper pot stills, and aged a five full years in Caucasian oak casks — some of them centuries old — so you be the judge. If it were made in France it would undoubtedly qualify as a VSOP Cognac… and tastes as good as the best of them. 

Smartass corner:
The Caucasus is a region in central Asia encompassing northeastern Iran, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. So even though we often use the word “caucasian” to refer to skin color, the word actually refers to anything native to or originating from this region. Thus, Caucasian oak casks. "

Michael
Michael,
Will rate it whenever I get a glass of it. It is a Christmas present for my dad that I bought off of the other members reviews.
Michael
Michael,
Just had some today when I wqs at my parents house. Smooooooooth! Pears and grapes! Like drinking a glass of spiked punch it was so smooth. Will be getting myself a bottle now.
Scott
Scott,
Never had any kind of brandy before. Definitely grape-y, with a great price.
 
Marcus
Marcus,
Smooth and delicious. Great straight up or maybe with a little egg nog...
 
John
John,
Armenian brandy is very nice, surprisingly drinkable straight up
 
Willie
Willie,
I'm a whiskey guy normally, but this has become my daily go to at the end of a long day. And I always prefer to drink it neat.
 
Zack
Zack,
I prefer the 6-year old, but this is a good alternative
 
Chris
Chris,
Nice.
 
Reuben
Reuben,
Blunt and heavy oak at first but it gets better as you move through the bottle. Resist the temptation to mix it and it will grow on you neatly.
 
Tim
Tim,
Sweet, mildly oaky nose. Smooth and medium-to-full bodied. Candied fruits, creme brulee. A bit of pepper before the finish. I'm a whisky guy, but found this quite pleasant.
 
Ed
Ed,
The more I sample this brandy, the more I like it. So smooth and flavorful.
 
Michael
Michael,
Surprisingly smooth. Nice grape taste notes. For the price an incredible bargain.
 
NAOMI
NAOMI,
Very smooth & mellow brandy. Great value and I will purchase again.
 
James
James,
Gave my wife the blind taste test with her go to brandy and she picked ArArAt with a smile. The sweet does sneak in there at the end. No need to mix this and ruin the flavor.
 
Huagang
Huagang,
A good introduction to this genre for me
 
Ed
Ed,
Smoothness and lack of diesel notes are the main characteristics of this brandy. A very good value.
 
Ed
Ed,
Smooth. It is comparable to a light cognac, but with much less bite.
 
Nicholas
Nicholas,
Excellent taste for the price, fruit is mellow, not too sweet
 
James
James,
Fantastic flavor, strong but just strong enough to sip without a mixer
 
Spencer
Spencer,
Not too sweet, good balance of fruit flavor without being overly sugary. Nice taste and good price.
 
Stephanie
Stephanie,
Not as sweet as I thought this would be but it is very smooth! The flavor is light and very enjoyable.
 
Robert
Robert,
I really liked this. It was not sweet like Courvoisier, but smooth and full flavored without the sugar.
 
Scott
Scott,
The flavor profile shown is pretty much dead on. The nose is fruity and light. This is a light tasting Brandy with a nice sudden heat in your throat on the finish. Overall, a great value for the bottle.
 
Karen
Karen,
Very smooth but light tasting.
 
Eugene
Eugene,
Very enjoyable. Will order again. Drinking is smooth and can take time nursing it.
 
Eugene
Eugene,
Very smooth and enjoyable. Never thought that Ararat 5 could be so good and not come from France. I definitely will purchase it again.

garrett,
I am not a brandy drinker. It was one of those deals like the end caps at a grocery store. I just saw it and thought why not I will try it. On the positive side I found drink recipe for it. Wisconsin old fashioned sour. They use Squirt Soda for the base. This made it drinkable. I will stick to rums and whisky from now on. I have these two liquors dialed in for what I like.
 
Chad
Chad,
Not that great. Flavor wasn't to my liking.
 
Ed
Ed,
Amazing. If you could drink liquid gold, it would be this!

Nancy
Nancy,
I ordered this for my Marine stepson who was stationed in Armenia and told us about the great tasting " Cognac" he tasted while stationed there ...Alas the bottle was emptied that night around the fire pit! Time to order another!
 
Steve
Steve,
I don't have much to compare it to, as I've never had the more common cognac$ (Courvoisier, Hennessy), but I have had Meukow and Remy in the same price range, and I think I like this better
 
Da'Twan
Da'Twan,
I love the flavor profile. Cognac is one of my favorite spirits and I was not expecting to like this as much as I do. It was worth the wait.
 
Kurt
Kurt,
I am new to the world of brandy, cognac, scotch, basically all of the items sold here. I was always strictly beer but as I have aged my curiosity for the " finer things in life" has grown. I have nothing to compare this with but I did enjoy it and look forward to trying others.
 
Deborah
Deborah,
Lighter than other Brandy I’ve had, very enjoyable. Flavor spiral nailed it. Will purchase again.
