Distiller Notes
Color is amber gold, shiny; a very fruity and very fine bouquet with a touch of vanilla, overall, however, of a pulpy red fruit. Round and pleasant to the nose. Taste is pulpy, ample round and balanced; the first touch of old Armagnac.
Still young and yet adult, this Bas Armagnac has the charm of its age: light, delicate and smooth.
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.
