Vsop Armagnac

A far more rustic, intense prospect than its cousin Cognac, Armagnac is a phenomenal spirit in its own right. It is a rich grape brandy from Gascony, and the region is home to some real gems. This tasting set from Drinks by the Dram includes five 3cl samples of some truly fantastic Armagnacs. Ver

The VSOP Armagnac from the House of Delord in the village of Lannepax. Rich with vanilla and oak-y spices.

A wonderful VSOP Bas Armagnac from Sempé in France, who have been making Armagnac for quite some time. Matured in oak barrels, this is a delightfully approachable spirit.

The VSOP expression of Bas Armagnac from Château de Laubade, who age their eaux-de-vie exclusively in Gascony oak casks. The Lesgourgues family have been running Château de Laubade, since it was built in 1870.

Napoleon d'Or VSOP is a 5 year old Armagnac, bottled for the German market during the 1970s. Great stuff.

A step up from the Comte de Ferragut Three Star, their VSOP Armagnac is made from a blend of brandies aged for at least five years. This additional ageing imparts a deeper depth of flavour, great for enjoying neat, perhaps as a digestif.
