Jardins d’Arménie 35-Year Royal Brandy Hits U.S. Market

Jardins d’Arménie has launched its 35-year Royal Brandy in the U.S., debuting the expression during a two-day pre-Emmy awards-weekend event in Los Angeles. The Armenian brandy will be available in Southern California from 30 September 2026.

The family-owned luxury spirits house presented Royal Brandy at the Pre-Emmys Celebrity Gifting Lounge on 11-12 September, where the product was included in a curated selection for Emmy nominees, presenters, celebrities and other VIP guests.

“It was our honor to introduce Royal Brandy in the U.S. among artists who have devoted themselves to perfecting their craft,” said Armen Pogossian, co-owner of Jardins d’Arménie. “We have brought that same dedication to crafting a brandy we believe offers a tasting experience unlike any other.”

READ THE STORY

The U.S. launch follows the brand’s international debut in Monaco in September 2025, when Jardins d’Arménie unveiled Royal Brandy at a gala at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo attended by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.

In 2026, the company also held an event during Paris Fashion Week and participated as a Crystal Partner of the 65th Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

Royal Brandy is produced in limited quantities from indigenous Armenian grapes, primarily Voskehat, sourced from Armenia’s highland regions. The company said the grapes are grown in areas including Aragatsotn, Vayots Dzor and Armavir, where vineyards are influenced by volcanic soils and high levels of sunshine.

The expression is made exclusively from spirits aged for at least 35 years. Its maturation process begins in oak, followed by aging in apricot wood, before returning to oak for final maturation.

Jardins d’Arménie said the brandy is bottled with a patent-pending hermetic cap designed to create an airtight seal and preserve aroma. Each bottle is presented in bespoke packaging with signature degustation cups.

The company has positioned the product within the luxury spirits segment. According to IWSR, the U.S. is the world’s second-largest market for “status spirits”, defined as products with a global weighted average retail price of US$100 or more per bottle.

Jardins d’Arménie Royal Brandy will be sold through Mission Liquor in Southern California with an MSRP of US$699.99 (£523.18, ₹67,046).
