Production process:
Proshyan Pryvitálnyi is aged for a minimum of 5 years in Caucasian oak barrels, allowing the brandy to develop a rich palette of flavors and aromas. The oak softens the spirits, imparts a golden hue, adds complexity to the taste, and creates a velvety texture, along with deep woody and spicy notes in the bouquet.

Composition and raw materials:
This brandy is made from selected Armenian wine distillates from local grape varieties, aged in oak barrels for at least five years. The beverage is blended only with high-quality drinking water, and occasionally a small amount of caramel color is added to achieve a stable color.

Taste and aroma:
The brandy features a rich, smooth, and mature taste, where subtle fruity notes of ripe fruits harmonize with warm oak, vanilla, almond, and delicate spices. The aromatic profile reveals hints of sweet fruits, caramel, and light woody nuances, giving the drink a multi-layered and deep character.

Alcohol strength:
With 40% ABV, the brandy strikes a balance between flavor intensity and smoothness, making it enjoyable neat or in classic cocktails. The aging process gives the drink enough complexity to be appreciated even in tasting sets.

Appearance and serving:
The brandy has a golden-amber color with bright reflections, reflecting its maturity and aging. It is recommended to serve at 18–22 °C, allowing the full aroma and taste to unfold. Best enjoyed in a traditional brandy glass — tulip or goblet — which concentrates the aromatic notes.

Consumption:
It is equally suitable as a digestif after a hearty meal or for leisurely enjoyment on its own. It pairs excellently with aged cheeses, desserts, dark chocolate, coffee, or cigars.
