Following the footsteps of French Cognac and Scottish whisky, a quiet revolution of Brandy is pouring in Georgia—and it’s travelled all the way to Malaysia. Sarajishvili's very own Georgian brandy combines Old World elegance with a rich story that’s finally making waves in Asia. Let’s dive into the roots of this liquid legend, and why it deserves a spot on your shelf.

The Origins of Sarajishvili Georgian Brandy

The Founder - David Sarajishvili

[Source: Wikipedia]

• Doctor of chemistry, philosopher, philanthropist, and all-round visionary.
• Saw the bigger picture: Georgia’s soil and sun weren’t just perfect for producing wine but something bolder.
• Built Georgia’s first brandy house and introduced alcohol drinks apart from wine such as vodka, liquor, and cognac.

While Europe was busy swirling wine and chasing spirits, Georgia had it's own quiet revolution brewing. Sarajishvili's vision was to create a spirit that captured the essence of Georgia in every sip. And just like that, Georgian brandy was born.

The Revival

• Founded: 1884

• Nationalised: 1920s–1990s

• Revived: 1994 by Bubuteishvili family

As things shifted dramatically during the Soviet era, like many private enterprises, Sarajishvili was nationalised, renamed, and folded into state operations. They didn’t just bring the brand back—they revived and injected new life into it, from Tbilisi Cognac Factory to the Sarajishvili we know today. Since then, the Bubuteishvilis have been steering the brand with purpose, passion, and a sharp eye for what’s next.

Georgian Brandy's Legacy Goes Global — And Now, Malaysia

Sarajishvili may be over a century old, but they know how to evolve while keeping its roots intact well. Over the years it has dropped limited editions, updated their visual identity, and shown up at international tastings that put Georgian brandy on the global map. Today, Sarajishvili has made its name as a powerhouse in the Premium Brandy category. Its bottles travel far beyond Georgia’s borders, landing in over 20 countries including Russia, China, the US, and major European markets.

Timeless Taste Through Modern Collaborations

Brandy for millennials? Sarajishvili stepped outside the box tapping into Georgia’s creative scene through collaborating with designers, musicians, and modern makers who bring a fresh take to the brand’s storied bottle. Their most notable collaboration is with Hammock Magazine, where they teamed up with rising Georgian talents like Nini Nutsubidze, Mariam Janjghava, and Giorgi Gigashvili for a campaign that mixed music with storytelling. These collaborations infuse fresh energy into the brand, ensuring it resonates with both longtime aficionados and a new generation of brandy enthusiasts.
