Production notes

Extra Old Armagnac is a powerful and mature Armagnac, composed of extensively maturated and respectful eaux-de-vie, all having at least 10 years of maturation. A much longer aging process than other Armagnacs, allowing the extraction of an exceptionally rich and complex range of aromas delivered by the oak casks.

Tasting notes

Robe: intense mahogany Nose: expression of the typical rancio of aged eaux-de-vie Bouquet: melted but present wood, vanilla, prune, nuts, fruity with cherry & coconut, spices such as cinnamon Palate: very smooth and tasty, lots of structure, well balanced, perfect alliance between wood & fruit
