Please take a look at the link and let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance for any assistance that you may provide.

Only authentic products of few plants are worthy to purchase. I described brandy, which made on historical plants. And this is, of course, authentic product. The phenomenon of this soviet brandy (but more correctly may be russian, may be not) which called as konijak is in his history. The founders of Tbilisi Plant and Yerevan Plant was pure enthusiast of french cognac and enthusiast of his land. They created this product like cognac in meaning GREAT alcohol. But in this brandy present no folk tradition. This brandy created as "copy" of cognac. Yes. Only authentic products of few plants are worthy to purchase.

Just one advantage established products do have: consistency! If I am buying an Armenian XO, it could be good, or it could be quite disgusting, depending which producer I've chosen... However that doesn't happen to you, if you are buying a original cognac... One more thing: it would be better, if they would find their own original names (and not imitating the pronunciation of known Western products)! I like the charm of your ex-USSR brandies!
