Today we taste Shakmat Armenian Brandy. The expectations were high for this bottle and we were expecting great things, but ....
Today is father's day and we are gathered at Gago's place to celebrate, it's great to be with friends and share the joy. Gago ordered this bottle online and waited almost 3 months for delivery, everyone were waiting for tasting this bottle with high expectation.
The Aroma can be classified as typical Armenian brandy aroma, with sweet domination. The taste isn't to par with 23 years! We taste very young and immature taste with no character at all. We are disappointed and hoping Shakmat will improve over the time and find it's better side.
About Shakmat
Shakmat (or shakhmat) is the Armenian word for chess. But our Shakmat is so much more than a game. It is a symbol. A symbol of life, persistence, patience, and wisdom of a people that do not fall, even when held in check.
Shakmat 23 Year Old is a premium brandy originating from the birthplace of winemaking. It is an embodiment of Armenia’s two national treasures – Chess and Konyak.
The time has come for Armenian brandy to reclaim its rightful placeon the World Spirits map. A hidden gem of flavor and tradition, its recognition is long overdue.
