From Delord comes a bottling of sublime and unbelievably great value Bas-Armagnac, with a delightful wooden presentation box. It was distilled from four different grape varieties, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco and Folle-Blanche before it was matured in oak barrels for 25 years.
Delord 25 Year Old Bas-Armagnac has received 5-star reviews from both Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Spirit Journal and was also awarded the Chairman's Trophy (the top prize) at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2011.
Caramel, cocoa butter and vanilla bring welcome sweetness among plenty of complex rancio and woody tannins.

This is my first Armagnac, and I fear I may now be spoiled for anything less so far as brandy goes. Scotch whisky is my usual go-to spirit, but finding that most of the whisky I wanted was unavailable today, I decided to venture out of my usual area and this Armagnac caught my eye. It does not disappoint. On the nose I find pepper, oak, dried prunes and a subtle honey note. On the palate, all those flavors continue with the addition of some dark cherry, and the prune takes on a more aromatic, sandlewood character. The finish is fairly long, with the fruit, pepper and sandlewood/prune fading away to a dry, gently astringent conclusion. Like good Scotch this benefits from allowing it to breath and sit a while in the glass - the flavors just seem to get deeper and richer with time. This really is very nice!
Well after trying the 20yo baron Due to its awards, this is far smoother going down and not as sour as 20yo baron. This is also cheaper so in my eyes this is probably a very good Armagnac out of the lot. Obviously the XO is smoother but for this price of this it’s in the high price league.

Strong small but smooth taste. Great price for the age. Definitely a bit stronger than cognac; compared it to Baron Otard vsop cognac... Very presentable bottle and packaging
I was given a bottle of this by a friend. No idea what to expect. Beautiful, intense and woody, with less of a caramel edge than the description on this website would suggest. Strangely it tasted not dissimilar to a very up-market oak-aged grappa at about the same price. Definitely not to be mixed in any way, shape or form. Needs to be savoured. I'd happily buy it for myself.
