Our story

In the 1980s, scientist Vardan Yavruyan was sent on a business trip to Cuba. The road passed through London, where he tried gin for the first time. When he returned to Armenia, he decided to get the latter’s recipe, using only juniper fruits growing in the Armenian highlands. Years later, the young people of the Yavruyan dynasty found the recipe for making gin in scientific documents. They decided to give life to their grandfather’s recipes, and took on the task of making alcohol with a completely new spirit. Hence, the gin was called VOGIS, which means “spirit” in Armenian.
Since gin was once sold in pharmacies as a medicinal substance, the bottle’s label resembles a tincture, which to some extent conveys the impression of a healing substance. Still, due to its modern approach and juniper illustration, it has a beautiful appearance. The product stands out on the store and bar shelves increasing the consumers’ interest in the gin.
