A gold award winner at the 2005 International Spirits Challenge. This superb 20 year old Bas-Armagnac is made by a family that trace their roots back to the 12th Century. The Armagnac they make is artisan and made in small batches.
Sweet, spicy nose. Warm pastries, vanilla, berries.
Thick and creamy palate. All sorts of flowers, from violets and roses to apple blossom. Then sultanas, figs, tangy oak, spices and custard.
Spicy and long finish, not unlike mulled wine.

I'm no brandy expert even though I find them a nice change from scotch, and have tried a few, but this one is delicious. You can tell It's class by the fact it has a thicker texture and deeper flavour than you would find in a normal brandy. I like a few glasses on a night while relaxing, and this may sound strange, but more than two of these sort of spoil's the experience of the first two by virtue of it's richness, however it's a good thing as it makes the bottle last longer.
The one is sweet and toffee ridden butterscotch. The palate thick, full of lovely sugars and rich toffee confectionary. Highland toffee in liquid form. Bloody lovely.
I was given this as part of my Xmas pressie by my boyfriend as he knew i liked Armagnac, but now i love it! Smells great Sweet yet spicy with a hint of vanilla. The taste, well beautiful, allsorts of spicy flavours, flowery to applie. Well just lush in my book....I have asked for another bottle for my birthday - Highly recommended xx
This bottle of brandy was bought as a gift for my birthday recently. I was told that it was special and that it was especially for me to open. Well when i had a sip i then realised what my friend had said. It was fantastic. The texture was smooth and the taste was very refined. It also knocked my head off as i gave myself a good shot of it treating it like any other brandy. I now know that it is not like many other brandies that i have tried and i have tried a few. The cost may be significantly greater but it was worth the value. Every last drop..........think i've been converted. Fantastic tasting brandy. Loving it!!!!
