YEREVAN, April 15. /ARKA/. The Yerevan Brandy Factory presented on Tuesday its famous “Armenia” cognac that was recreated using the authentic recipe of master-blender Margar Sedrakyan.
The ten-year old “Armenia” cognac was created in 1940. Seventy-five years later, the Yerevan Brandy Factory recreated the recipe to pay tribute to the master and his love for his homeland, ArArAt brand ambassador Kristina Ishkhanyan said at the presentation.
The new bottle and the label are made to be as similar to the ones of the legendary cognac as possible. The recreated “Armenia” is one of the vintage cognacs with extra after-coupage aging of not less than three years. The additional after-coupage aging is about 10 years for “Armenia”.
Margar Sedrakyan, who was born in Van and survived the 1915 genocide of Armenians, devoted his lifetime (1932-1973) to Armenian brandy production and created a series of vintage cognacs, including the legendary “Dvin”, “Akhtamar” and “Nairi”. Along with the awards in the home country, he also received the prestigious French Chevalier du Degustation.
Yerevan Brandy Company is the exclusive producer of ARARAT Brandies is the direct successor of Armenian brandy-making traditions, established in 1887.
Yerevan Brandy Company is the biggest taxpayer of the field and the biggest grape buyer. In 1999 Yerevan Brandy Company joined the Pernod Ricard Group, the world co-leader of the Wine & Spirits industry, which unites such brands as Chivas, Absolut, Martell, Jameson and others. –0--
