From the land of musketeers comes one of the world’s most marvelous spirits. Armagnac is produced by the incredibly talented distillers of Gascony and is unique in its grapes, production method, and of course, character of the land from which it comes. Here are some of the greats of the region!


  Armagnac Castarède – XO 20 Year

 Castarede drinkmemag.com drink me

 

 

Just like Wonder Woman, this exposes power

and complexity with an utterly refined grace.

Its concentrated nose reveals scents of black fig,

candied apple, violet, honey and chestnut.

On the palate it is round with a dry spicy

character and long sandalwood finish. -JA
