The geographical position of Georgia, its climate, soil and indigenous grape varieties present all the necessary conditions for the production of premium brandy. The tradition of making Georgian brandy reaches back into the mid-19th century, scoring international awards and recognition. Up until 1990, these spirits were known as Georgian Cognac, while they are now established as Georgian brandy. Boisa brandies are made according to the classic method, from a distillate of white wine grown in the Alazani Valley in the region Kakheti, traditionally the home of exceptional brandy.
