Armenian distillation

Armenian distillation is a traditional process used to produce high-quality spirits like Armenian brandy and the famous Armenian ouzo. It involves partially fermenting grapes or other fruits to create a wine or mash, which is then heated in a still. The heat causes alcohol to vaporize, and the vapors are collected and cooled to separate and purify the alcohol. This method often includes multiple distillation rounds to enhance purity and flavor. Armenian distillation combines craftsmanship with age-old techniques, resulting in spirits that are rich, smooth, and reflective of the region’s unique terroir.
