ARARAT 5 Stars 5 Year

Killer brandy. Winston Churchill was a fan as well. Full with notes of brown sugar and assorted dried fruits. Thick and coats your throat. This is 28 dollars in Utah. I’ve spent 2 to 3 times that on cognacs and armagnacs that I didn’t enjoy even nearly enough as this. I look forward to trying the other longer aged Ararat bottles.
