What is the difference between TUFF XO and TUFF Heritage?
TUFF XO is aged 20 years and comes in 700 ml with a gift box and as a 50 ml miniature. TUFF Heritage is aged 30 years, a limited series in a dark blue case, with a cap carved by hand after the reliefs of Armenian monuments (editions Ani and Aghtamar).
