Ohanyan Fruit Vodka - Cornelian Cherry

41 BY OHANYAN Cornelian Cherry Vodka is the most difficult to produce. Small, juicy fruits are picked by hand in late autumn. To obtain a liter of absolute alcohol, 35-40 kg of cornel are required,  
but the result justifies the work.

 

41 BY OHANYAN Cornel has an unusually bright and sophisticated taste. A distinctive feature of its rich, deep taste is the fresh, fruity aroma of ripe cornelian cherries.

 

Cornelian Cherry Vodka is a big favorite in Armenia due to its unique taste, and the Armenian terroir and ecologically clean nature are ideal conditions for growing high quality Cornelian Cherries.

Ohanyan Brandy Company is one of the first family owned enterprises in Armenia, established in 1998 on basis of Askeran Wine Factory founded in the Artsakh region of Armenia. The factory has traditions of production of wines and brandies going back since 1922. The factory covers an area of 3 hectares and has its orchards and vineyards of more than 155 hectares or 383 acres.

The Yerevan factory was established in 2023 and is equipped with modern production lines. The factory’s flow line was designed and provided specifically for the new Ohanyan Brandy Company in Armenia, it is a modern, state of the art flow line which makes production more efficient and even better quality. The first Armenian organic wheat vodka is produced at this very factory, and is widely recognized in the Armenian Diaspora.

 

The barrels used to age their products are all made from Artsakh Oak, in their workshop they use only Artsakh Oak because it has excellent organoleptic properties. Due to the Artsakh war in 2020 and the illeagal occupation and ethnic cleansing of all Armenians from the historic Artsakh region of Armenia, by Azerbaijani and Turkish forces, the factory was forced to move and relocate to Yerevan (The capital city of Republic of Armenia). Since the move to Yerevan, they have planted vineyards and also brought Pomegranates, apples, apricots, and everything else that was possible to bring from their vineyards, orchards and factory in Artsakh to Yerevan, so that their history and legacy continues.
