TASTING NOTES
Aromas of baked apple, sweet oak, vanilla, honey, green melon, nectarine and a trace of spice. On the palate, it’s medium-rich, intensely honeyed, and fruity. The deep, multilayered midpalate is succulently sweet and woody. More than two decades in oak have made it stunningly mellow, with a lingering caramel warmth that lasts so long it really shouldn’t be called a finish.
BACKGROUND
Armagnac is the oldest spirit in the world, being distilled and bottled since 1411. Armagnac is a distinctive region of Gascony. Only the finest Eaux de Viefrom the best terroirs create the vintage armagnacs here. Once distilled, they are aged in 420 litre oak barrels, inscribed with the year of distillation.
In cask the tannins impart their calming influence on the youth of the Eau de Vie, in addition to lending it colour and flavor. The colour can range from pale straw to rich amber and the oak and brandy react together throughout the ageing process, developing complex flavours and aromas.
Each bottle is labeled with the year of distillation and the grape type. A certificate of authenticity comes with each bottle.
Cognac is associated with powerhouse brands that are often name-dropped by rap stars; Armagnac is produced by hundreds of anonymous farmsteads scattered around the Gascony region of southwest France. Luckily, the négociant firm Baron de Lustrac scours the countryside in search of bottlings Small-scale farming and micro distilling produce a spirit so perfect on its own that it doesn’t need blending. More than two decades in oak have made it stunningly mellow, with a lingering caramel warmth that lasts so long it really shouldn’t be called a finish.
