Ararat Erebuni 70 Year Old Brandy
Ararat Erebuni 70 Year Old Brandy is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 70-year Armenian brandy — the oldest brandy of the Erebuni limited collection and the rarest expression in the entire ARARAT portfolio. The oldest spirit in the blend dates to 1902 — over 120 years old — drawn from the distillery treasury of the Yerevan Brandy Company. Dense, rich dark amber with mahogany tints and what the brand calls "the subdued glow of antique gold," it is "rich, very delicate, but full-bodied and whole, flavored with various dried fruits, roasted chestnuts, dark chocolate, with openwork twist of spices" and a "very rich, complex spicy aroma with shades of floral essential oils and caramelized fruits." The Erebuni line is named for the 782 BC fortress built by order of King Argishti I — the founding of Yerevan, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Spirit Older Than the Century
The Erebuni 70 is not just old — it is a time capsule. Somewhere in the Yerevan Brandy Company's treasury sits spirit distilled in 1902, and this bottle is where it went: the rarest expression Ararat makes, the capstone of a line named for the fortress that founded Yerevan in 782 BC. Dried fruits, roasted chestnuts, dark chocolate, floral essential oils, caramelized fruits — a century-plus of Armenian oak in a single pour.
