Another Armenian brandy today. Buckle up for a coke-versus-pepsi comparison I think is rather apt!

Brandy / Cognac
A totally rock-solid cognac and representative of the category. So much so, in fact, that it becomes hard to find something novel about this bottle to talk about.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's a lot of fun, interesting cognac out there I've never heard of. Here's another to show that those who veer from the beaten path are often rewarded for their curiosity.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Is it downright awful? No. That said, it's hard to reward what I feel is the taste of resting on centuries-old laurels.

Ever smell something that brings you back to a particular time and place? Perhaps a time and a place you're thankful you haven't experienced in a while? Buckle up for a vivid story!

Support your smaller producer with this lesser-known but fully-capable cognac. The Hardy VS is a solidly crafted spirit that would serve as a great entry point for the cognac clueless. Overall Rating: ★★☆
Armenian Brandy has a pretty rich and storied history. My Armenian friends might be wrong when it comes to System of a Down, but they're certainly not messing around with the Ararat Akhtamar 10. Overall Rating: ★★☆
Yes, it's a $14 brandy. By all accounts it should be terrible, but either I'm a broken person or there's a lot of value and comfort here.
