ARARAT Nairi 20 Year

This intense brandy from the Yerevan Brandy Company in Armenia was aged for a full twenty years in oak and then proofed with local spring water. It presents an aromatic beginning with hints of pine nuts, honey, floral notes, and peppercorn. Its rich and full body introduces notes of cinnamon, clove, rye bread, and almond butter, leading to a long, drying finish with notes of cedar wood and warm spices. August 2017 / April / June 2018

This brandy is worth the expense. However, it's not necessarily superior to the 15-year-old version. This one has a richer flavor and pairs wonderfully with sweet sujukh.

The initial taste was quite sharp, but it mellowed out and possesses a considerable alcohol content.

Tastes good but is too expensive.
