Why This Collection Matters
The Club's First Armagnac Tasting: We're entering new territory together. No assumptions, just discovery.
Terroir Exploration: Six producers, five distinct vineyard sites across Gascony. Taste how soil, climate, and tradition shape brandy differently than bourbon or Scotch.
Age Progression: From 23 to 50 years. Track how time, oxidation, and oak transform grape-based spirits over decades most distilleries won't risk.
Single Barrel Potential: This tasting gauges interest in a future single barrel selection. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
Live Virtual Tasting with OADE
📅 Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
⏰ Time: 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT
🎙 Host: Dan Hakker, OADE Founder
📧 RSVP: Zoom link will be emailed after purchase
Dan will walk through each expression, explain regional differences in Armagnac production, and discuss how grape varietals and distillation methods create flavor profiles bourbon drinkers might not expect.
The Single Barrel Question
During the event, we'll discuss whether The Prime Barrel should select a single cask Armagnac. Your tasting notes and feedback directly influence this decision. If interest runs high, we'll move forward with Dan to identify a barrel worth bottling.
Join the Community
Jump into The Prime Barrel Discord for real-time reactions, tasting notes, and comparisons. Share which vintage spoke to you and why—the conversation continues long after the Zoom call ends.
