Awesome Armagnac all the way from the famed Bas region, produced as part of the Clés des Ducs range. Here's a key fact about this XO expression: it's maturation includes at least six months in brand new casks, following a lengthy ageing process prior. The result is a spirit with a depth of oak, spice and expression fruit notes, presented in a particularly stylish decanter that wouldn't look out of place on one of those ornate drinks trolleys. Here's another key fact about this one: the name "Clés des Ducs" means "Keys of Dukes".
Get it? Key fact? Keys of Dukes?! We have fun.
As a long-term fan of Armagnac I am sorry that this present from my son was a massive disappointment. I felt that the taste I cherish was barely discernable and all I picked up was nondescript vanilla.
Agree with the other comments on here about the nose: not great there. But the flavours are good rich stuff
Wonderful
Delicious. Caramel nose, equally smooth in the mouth; very long, warm and slightly spicy after taste.
A really pungent nail varnish remover intense nose. But the palate is amazing. Fruity, rich, warming and delicious. Strange but well worthy of a try. Lovely.
