JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1923

• Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1923 harvest alone, unblended
• Cask Wide-grain oak, medium toast
• Distillation Continuous

The expertise of the founding family has been passed down to the current cellar master, Mathias Rodriguez. Presented in an Olympe decanter, set in a wooden arch. A fitting choice for a motoring enthusiast, a family milestone, or a collector.
