FAQ
Is ARARAT Spirit 1887 a vodka with added grape flavour?

How is ARARAT Spirit 1887 different from grain vodka?

How is grape vodka different from brandy?

For ARARAT Spirit 1887 grape vodka and ARARAT brandies, the same selected white grapes grown in Armenia are used. The grape-based wine material is distilled in Charentais-type pot stills using a double-distillation process. After distillation, the production paths of the grape vodka and ARARAT brandies diverge: for ARARAT Spirit 1887, only spirits with a distinctive and delicate aromatic profile are selected. Instead of being aged in oak casks, the selected spirits are blended with pure spring water and then undergo a multi-stage fine filtration process, resulting in a vodka of exceptional smoothness and refined character.

What does ARARAT Spirit 1887 taste like?

Fresh berry notes, subtle white pepper, and delicate hints of grape leaf and walnut create a layered and refined flavour profile. ARARAT Spirit 1887 is smooth, elegant, and well-balanced in taste.

No. ARARAT Spirit 1887 is distilled in the same Charentais copper pot stills used to produce ARARAT brandies.

How does the production of ARARAT Spirit 1887 differ from that of traditional grain vodka?

The key difference lies in the raw material and the distillation method. ARARAT Spirit 1887 is made from selected white grapes, which are twice distilled in traditional copper Charentais pot stills. In contrast, traditional grain vodka production typically uses rectification columns, which produce a highly purified neutral spirit.

Double distillation in pot stills helps preserve the delicate and distinctive aromatic profile of the grape spirit. After distillation, the selected spirits are blended with pure spring water and then undergo a multi-stage fine filtration process, which gives ARARAT Spirit 1887 its smoothness and refined character.
