A magnificent Bas-Armagnac from Château du Tariquet. Produced from a blend of 60% Ugni blanc and 40% Baco grapes, this Hors D'Age expression is aged for an average of 15 years to achieve a splendid balance of honeyed fruit and woody rancio. With a handsome wooden case, made by local craftspeople using pine from the Landes de Gascogne forest – this ought to make an impressive gift for an Armagnac fan.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Dense dried fruits and floral honey with hints of toasted coconut and a touch of vanilla. Roasted nuts, baking spice, and grilled stone fruits follow, with leathery oak building on the finish.
