Vanilla and apricot aromas are balanced against some alcohol astringency on nose. The light palate echoes that stone fruit note alongside a blitz of cinnamon heat, finishing with a wash of honey and brown butter. Sip or mix. Aged at least 3 years. Best Buy.
Cardinal Vital Du Four claimed that it “cures gout and cankers, heals wounds of the skin … renders men joyous, preserves youth and retards senility.”
Armagnac is produced in the Gascony region of Southwest France and is among the earliest of spirits produced, prescribed over the last 700 years for a myriad of therapeutic benefits. Owing to its ancient heritage, the production method is much simpler than that of its cousin, Cognac, with just a single distillation through a column still prior to barrel aging. This yields a spirit that is generally more flavorful and fragrant than other Brandies.
