Castarède Armagnac Vintage 1931
- Ageing 89 years in cask, bottled in 2020
- Cask oak
The eau-de-vie in this bottle was distilled after the 1931 harvest, then kept for eighty-nine years in oak casks in the Castarède cellars.

The length of the ageing says it all: an Armagnac of extraordinary patience. 70 cl bottle, 40% vol., presented in a gift box.
