Castarède Armagnac Vintage 1959
- Ageing 61 years in cask, bottled in 2020
- Cask oak
Castarède itself describes its 1959 as a surprising entry in its vintage collection, and that is precisely what makes it so interesting. The harvest spent sixty-one years in oak casks before being bottled in 2020; the vintage is now sixty-seven years old. This single-year eau-de-vie has been brought down to 40% vol. for drinking. Presented in a 70 cl bottle with a gift box, it will appeal to the curious enthusiast, or to someone born in 1959 who enjoys the road less travelled.
