Askaneli 5 yo Georgian brnady – 0,5 l

Askaneli 5* – Georgian brandy

The five-year-old Askaneli brandy is a masterpiece from the Kakheti region, blending the power of the sun, carefully selected grapes, and the art of old masters. Askaneli 5* is not just a spirit; it is an invitation to the heart of Kakheti, Georgia’s most famous winemaking region. This brandy represents the perfect harmony between the rich history of the Chkhaidze family and modern production technologies. Its foundation consists of premium wine distillates aged for a minimum of 5 years in oak barrels.

As a result, the drink acquires its unmistakable, full-bodied flavor, appreciated by both casual brandy lovers and spirits experts. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a high-quality “Georgian cognac” (as brandy is popularly called in the region) at an accessible price, whether as a thoughtful gift or for personal moments of relaxation.

Unique Composition & Grape Varieties

The secret to the taste of Askaneli 5* lies in a specific blend of indigenous Georgian grape varieties. According to the winery’s official recipe, the composition is as follows:

• Rkatsiteli (90%): Gives the distillate its structure, freshness, and characteristic fruity acidity.

• Kakhuri Mtsvane (5%): Brings delicate floral and aromatic notes.

• Tsolikouri (5%): Ensures the fullness and body of the drink.

Tasting Profile

Askaneli 5* features a beautifully balanced profile that is neither too sharp nor overly sweet.

• Color: Radiant amber with golden reflections.

• Aroma: A complex bouquet of fresh grapes, blackcurrants, and roasted almonds, finished with a delicate touch of vanilla.

• Palate: Surprisingly soft and harmonious in the mouth, dominated by rich notes of honey, walnuts, and oak wood.

• Finish: The experience culminates in a long, velvety, and warming finish where the fruity notes gently fade away.
