Understanding Armagnac
Armagnac is a brandy distilled from grapes in Gascony, France, typically column-distilled in a single pass and often bottled as a single vintage rather than blended across years. Cask aging and the estate's chosen grape varieties shape the final character, giving Armagnac a rustic depth that sets it apart from its better-known cousin, Cognac.

Armagnac FAQ
Armagnac is typically distilled once in a column still rather than twice in a pot still, and it is more often bottled as a single vintage from one estate rather than blended across multiple years.
A vintage Armagnac comes entirely from grapes harvested and distilled in a single year, so the bottling reflects that specific growing season rather than a blend of multiple years.
Expect dried fruit, prune, fig and baking spice alongside a rustic, earthy oak character, with older releases developing more caramel and dried-fruit depth.
