Churchill – Russian cognac of “French quality”. Named after former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. The manufacturer claims that the reason lies in the “individuality and endurance”, “success and nobility” of the drink just like great people.
It is based on 5-year-old French spirits, it is created by the classic blending method. In order to soften the taste and improve the bouquet, the blend is left to “rest” in oak bottles. Then it is heated to 45 ° C and for up to a month, cooled for another five to ten days. All this has a positive effect on the organoleptic properties.

The legend of Brenny
There is a legend that in 1945 I. Stalin treated W. Churchill with Armenian cognac “Dvin”, and he liked it so much that the head of the USSR ordered to supply the Englishman with a drink. There is no exact evidence for this, just as there are no refutations.
In 1951, W. Churchill complained that the taste qualities had not changed for the better. It turned out that the Dvin blender Margar Sedrakyan was in exile at that time. He was returned, made a member of the party again, and the drink regained its original taste. Later, Sedrakyan was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor.
Brief history of the drink

Three conditions had to be met for its work: import of wine materials, high-tech equipment and qualified employees.
