Ararat VSOP 10 year is named for "Akhtamar" a beautiful Armenian legend of a brave young man who risked traveling the treacherous waters of Lake Van for Princess Tamar. This ten year old brandy is crafted from over fifteen distillates, each tasted and hand-selected. With beautiful warm amber and copper shades, Akhtamar is full-bodied, silky-smooth, and a pleasant balance of tart and sweet flavors.
