Castarède Armagnac Vintage 1893

• Ageing 125 years in cask, bottled in 2018
• Cask Oak

When these grapes were harvested, in 1893, the Castarède house had already been in existence for sixty-one years. The eau-de-vie then spent one hundred and twenty-five years in oak casks, until it was bottled in 2018, the date recorded on the back label. Since then, it has ceased to age: what you taste today is the Armagnac as the family judged it ready. Brought to 40% vol., it is presented in a 70 cl bottle and delivered in a gift box. A piece of Gascon history, to be opened for an occasion that deserves it, or to be given to a collector of very old vintages.
