About the Producer
I know basically nothing about this producer other than it is produced in Armenia and they put out several aged fruit brandies including Peach (reviewed here), Mulberry and Apricot. Armenian brandies are interested but for most it’s hard to really get much info on them in English except for big brands like Ararat.
Details
• From Armenian peaches
• Aged 3yrs in French oak barrels.
• 50% abv.
Nose
Very sweet smelling. Instantly think it’s got added sugar. And odd chalkiness. Peach comes through though and is pretty good. Fairly intense and at least interesting
Palate
Again very sweet and with a lot of peach and chalkiness. Feels a bit unbalanced with the chalkiness mixed with heavy sweetness. Hint of wood spice. Very heavy and viscous. Intense but feel like the sweetness is hiding some complexity.
Finish
Long with peaches and oak.

Overall
Not bad but disjointed; the intense sweetness and the chalkiness don’t go well together for me. It tastes like there is a fair amount of sugar added which I’m not 100% against but I feel like it would have most complexity without it.
