Dark amber brandy has a rich and pleasant aroma. In soft, deep and complex taste the shades of vanilla, dried apricots, chocolate, figs, almonds and cinnamon are harmoniously intertwined. The long aftertaste is expressed with notes of spices and oriental sweets (rahat-lukuma).

Brandy is excellent as a digestive and perfectly combines with cigars.

Fermentation is carried out only on wild yeast, which are formed on grapes during maturation. Before distillation, the wine material is not filtered or processed. When fermentation ends, the resulting wine material is sent for distillation. At the same time, some of the sludge is left in the wine - it serves as a pledge of the softness of the future cognac. For the production of brandy "Tsar Tigran" only the classical method of distillation in copper cubes of Charente type is used (double fusion according to classical French technology).

Brandy "Tsar Tigran" is aged only in barrels from the Caucasian oak at least 6 years. At the same time, the first one and a half year aging takes place in new barrels, after which it continues in the old ones. The age of the youngest alcohol in the blend is 15 years. The age of the older alcohol is 40 years old.

Brandy "Tsar Tigran" is a prestigious series, which got its name in honor of the legendary king of Ancient Armenia Tigran the Great, an outstanding ruler and conqueror of lands, who lived in the 1st century BC. Brandies "Tsar Tigran" are created only from the best selected spirits and have become a real standard of Armenian cognac.

Great Valley was established in Yerevan in 1998 on Tigran Arzakantsyan’s initiative. It received its name in honor of the Ararat Valley – the “granary” of Armenia, where according to the biblical legend patriarch Noah planted the first grapevine, from the amber berries of which he made the oldest wine. The company is one of the direct heirs of the traditions of Armenian cognac production. From the first days the whole product line of Great Valley is made according to the recipes of the honored winemaker of Armenia and Russia, Robert Azaryan. The range of products consists of more than 20 varieties of cognac, belonging to three main brands - "Tsar Tigran", "Great Valley" and "Sevan". Read more
