Armenian Fruit Eau-de-vie

A place where the ancient Armenian traditions of distillation find a new voice.

We craft authentic fruit distillates, preserving the purity of the taste and the character of the fruit. At the heart of every spirit are the finest fruits from Armenian orchards, pure mountain water and a deep respect for the craft. No sugar, no flavorings, no artificial additives — only the fruit and its natural essence. Our copper alembics, brought from Europe, unite centuries-old technique with modern precision.

Aharonyan Distillery — the story

Our Story

The Story

Aharonyan Distillery was born not from a business plan but from a dream: to bring back the taste of Armenia as it truly is — pure and alive. In 2023 I founded the distillery in the very heart of the Armenian land, among the apricot, apple and peach orchards that had already been growing here for decades. Those orchards became the starting point. I planted new trees, laid out paths, created parkland and built with tuff — the local stone that holds the breath of the earth. We designed the interiors together with talented designers, so that every hall and every detail would carry the same warmth as our spirits.

“Aharonyan Distillery is a place where every drop tells a story: of family, of the land, of returning home, and of a taste created with love.”

The Category

Water of Life

We do not simply make alcohol. We make eau-de-vie — the “water of life”, a spirit in which the scent of the sun and the character of Armenian soil live on. The apricot is the symbol of Armenia. Apple, plum and other fruits reveal the richness of our land.

01

What Eau-de-vie Is

Eau-de-vie (French for “water of life”) is a high-quality fruit distillate obtained exclusively through the fermentation and distillation of fresh fruit, with no added sugar or artificial flavorings.

02

Why Not Vodka

Unlike vodka, which is made to achieve neutrality, eau-de-vie sets out to preserve and highlight the natural aroma and taste of the fruit. It is the pure essence of nature, expressed in every drop.

03

Why Fruit Distillate

The sun-drenched fruits of Armenia have exceptional flavor. Distillation makes it possible to capture that singular character and carry it into the glass.

The orchards of Aharonyan Distillery

From Our Orchards

Born in Armenian orchards

Just 18 km from the center of Yerevan, on the road to Ashtarak, lie 10 hectares of tended orchards and a distillery where taste is born of earth, sun and natural fruit. This is more than a production site — it is a place where nature, quiet and the view of the mountains create an atmosphere of their own. Everything here is real: the fruit, the air, and the impressions you take home with you.
