The culture of winemaking in Armenia goes back to the 19th century. The Armenian brandy that is famous around the world today was introduced in 1887 in Yerevan. Merchant and philanthropist, Nerses Tairyan, was the first to begin classical French alcohol production technology in Armenia. He was inspired by his cousin, Vasily Tairov, an experienced winemaker and scientist. Tairyan expertly recognized the unique conditions of Ararat Valley and the high quality of the local grape varieties.
With financial support from friends and relatives, Charante-type distillers were installed in Tairyan’s factory and it was prepared for the process of aging spirits. This entrepreneurial undertaking resulted in technological breakthroughs and new opportunities for the brandy industry in Armenia.
In just a quarter of a century, Armenian brandy gained worldwide recognition and success. Revolutionary upheavals in the country had little impact on brandy production and its status as a national treasure was solidified.
