Armenian vodka is considered one of the exclusive examples of the global alcohol industry. It deservedly enjoys the recognition of many gourmets. This type of production in the ancient country of Armenia has always been considered a promising direction in the national alcohol industry. Moreover, it reached the peak of its development during the Soviet years.

Kinds

Today Armenia is one of the largest exporters of these products. About fifteen to sixteen million liters of vodka are produced here every year. The country supplies alcohol mainly to the CIS countries, mainly to Russia.

The technologies used to produce Armenian vodka stand out very clearly against the background of the already traditional methods of the global alcohol industry. First of all, this circumstance is due to the fact that truly unique raw materials are used here. So, in addition to the already classic wheat varieties, Armenian vodka is prepared based on a wide variety of berries and fruits by distilling their juice.

Local craftsmen owe such a wide variety of vodka products primarily to the unique soil and climatic characteristics of the country. On the territory alone grow endless apricots, peaches, grapes, etc. It is here that local craftsmen collect a rich harvest every year, from which Armenian fruit vodka is produced. It has an incredible aroma and becomes a decoration for any table.

Numerous Armenian producers offer a wide variety of varieties to the attention of fans of strong, high-quality alcohol, including the legendary mulberry and dogwood varieties, peach and apricot, plum, quince and even melon vodka. It is interesting that, in addition to products with a standard strength of forty degrees, the wine list of some factories also includes drinks with increased strength - up to fifty to sixty percent.

Tutovka

It is made from mulberry, which grows mainly in this country. Mulberry vodka is Armenian pride. Its unique taste is the reason that it has long been known throughout the world. The uniqueness that characterizes Armenian mulberry vodka lies in the successful combination of a pleasant, slightly intoxicating effect and the presence of many useful substances. The special technology by which it is produced involves the use of only natural ingredients, which makes this alcoholic drink truly environmentally friendly and safe. Armenian mulberry vodka has a charming smell and unusual taste.

Apricot variety

This fruity Armenian vodka is perfect for the dinner table. Even a small amount of it helps replenish energy, improve tone and vitality. In addition, judging by the reviews of experts, this drink also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Armenians often use it for preventive or therapeutic purposes for many ailments. The amazing recipe for making this vodka, proven over the years, has made it environmentally friendly and completely natural. Manufacturers carefully monitor the quality of raw materials, using only ripe, healthy fruits.

Dogwood vodka

It turns out that these berries can be eaten not only fresh, but also processed. They are used to make juice and jam, compotes and, of course, alcohol-containing drinks. The rich culture of dogwood vodka production in Armenia is an indisputable confirmation of this. The strength of this drink should be at least fifty degrees. To produce this product, a fairly large amount of dogwood is processed. This is what explains the somewhat high price of vodka. For example, in the recipe for producing Armenian vodka “Country of Stones” dogwood, to make one liter of product it is necessary to collect about thirty-five kilograms of ripe fruits. Moreover, to obtain a unique taste, you need not a garden variety, but a wild one, which is in many ways superior in aroma. Double distillation is used in production.

Pomegranate vodka

Being a symbol of Armenia, this fruit serves as the raw material for an alcoholic drink that has an amazing taste. Factories producing this vodka use only fresh pomegranates, which have a dense structure and high sugar content. That is why Armenian pomegranate vodka has a pronounced aroma. Its taste reveals a slight sourness of the fruit, a subtle bitterness of the partitions and the aftertaste of the grains.

The composition includes only fruit pomegranate alcohol of double distillation of the Charente type, prepared drinking water.

Recently, more and more distillates are appearing, and this is encouraging. As much as I can, I try to try different types. When visiting the “Fragrant World”, my attention was drawn to the line of distillates from the Armenian “Land of Stones”, which included vodkas made from mulberries, pomegranates, dogwoods and grapes. Strictly speaking, these are not vodkas, but distillates, so it would be more correct to call them mulberry, pomegranate, dogwood and grappa, but this is all up to the manufacturer. I was most interested in the mulberry product, since I know that for Armenians this is a cult drink, almost more so than cognac. The only thing that was somewhat surprising when reading the back label text was the mention of double distillation (why?).
So, let's try the mulberry.

The bottle is typical of Stone Country products; it is low and has wide shoulders. The label shows a picture of a mulberry, and a black one at that. I had the opportunity to try this berry in Abkhazia, they don’t value it too much there, it grows right on the street. Its aroma is very weak, the taste personally seems cloying to me.

Color: transparent, “alive”.
Aroma: low alcoholic, herbaceous-fruity.
Taste: soft, slightly sweet, fruity.
Aftertaste: long lasting, and personally I had a desire to eat something after all. The blackberries brought from the garden came in very handy: its aroma is similar to the aroma of mulberries, and the sweet and sour taste goes very well with the drink.
Total: I still don’t understand the meaning of double distillation in this case, making something sterile from the drink. Still, the fruit distillate must have the appropriate aroma and taste. Here there is “excessive purity,” so to speak. Lately I have been comparing similar drinks with Phanagorian chacha as a kind of standard. And here we have to admit: Phanagoria is better.

The specific features of Armenian vodka are determined by the nature of the raw materials used and the special production method. It is made not only from cereals, but also from fruits. The fertile climate of the country, a significant part of which is located in the fertile Ararat Valley, allows for the cultivation of selected grains and a wide variety of fruits and berries. All these gifts of nature are used to make excellent Armenian vodka. The calling card of the Land of Stones is a strong alcoholic drink made from mulberries (mulberries), but the range of produced vodka also includes varieties with flavors of apricot, peach, dogwood, plum, quince, etc. Their strength can reach 60 degrees, but the high alcohol content suits the product only for the benefit, making its taste purer and its aroma richer. This vodka is produced in Armenia using a special technology. Fruits with a high level of sugar content are selected as raw materials, because the juice squeezed from them begins to ferment without the addition of sugar and yeast, which determines the naturalness of the future drink. The resulting product is distilled into high-quality alcohol, which is blended with purified water and left to rest for 3-6 months. In some cases, distillates are additionally aged in wooden barrels for 1-3 years.

Armenian vodka invariably delights connoisseurs with its pleasant, light, refined aroma, which, depending on the type of drink, is dominated by bread or fruit and berry shades. Both classic grain and fruit Armenian vodka has a magnificent soft taste, which is not at all identified with traditional strong alcohol. Experts recommend tasting this delicious drink solo to fully experience its silkiness and smoothness. In moderation, it can be consumed for preventive purposes, as it improves the functioning of the digestive system and normalizes metabolism. Vodka from Armenia will be appropriate during any feast, be it a festive banquet or a cozy friendly party. It can be served both as an aperitif and as an addition to hot and satisfying dishes.

Currently, Armenian vodka is widely exported to Russia, neighboring countries and even some EU countries. This high-quality exclusive product is in high demand and is very popular outside its homeland. It is worth buying Armenian vodka in order to learn a little more about the traditions and national characteristics of this country, an integral part of which is the magnificent alcoholic drink.
