Ivan Aivazovsky's real name was Hovhannes Aivazian.
Ivan Aivazovsky was not only a painter but also a patron of the arts. The first Armenian Brandy appeared with his involvement.
The artist helped his relative, the merchant Nerses Tairov, build a distillery in Yerevan.
From an initial output of vodka and wine, the distillery transitioned to brandy production in 1887, thereby laying the groundwork for the globally recognized Armenian brand that exists today

Born
Valley
The Ararat Valley's abundant sunshine, sheltered slopes, and mineral-rich soils create the ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The resulting grapes, high in sugar and acidity, provide an exceptional base for the finest beverages.
01
Terroir
Crafted from indigenous grapes—Kangun, Rkatsiteli, and Voskeat—this brandy develops unique characteristics and subtle new notes to classic styles.
02
Grapes
The production process utilizes traditional double distillation in Charentais alembics, mirroring French methods, to retain the intense aromas. A blend of spirits of various ages completes the process.
03
Blend
The unique aging process utilizes uncharred Karabakh, Russian, and French oak barrels, preserving the distillate's bright, fruity character. The cellars, built from porous volcanic tufa, create an optimal environment for maturation, allowing the spirit to "breathe."
04
Aging
The soulful melodies of the duduk, Armenia's national instrument, fill the AIVAZOVSKY brandy cellars, their notes, according to the master blenders, weaving their way into the symphony of flavors.
