DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1965 MAGNUM 150 cl

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1965 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

The pot gascon is Delord's large format: 150 cl, more than double a standard 70 cl bottle. It holds the 1965 harvest here, distilled at Lannepax and aged without blending. Its notes of vanilla, coffee and rancio, followed by pepper and liquorice, have plenty to carry a long evening. A bottle of this size is made for sharing: a 61st anniversary with family, a reunion of friends from the same year, a celebratory dinner. This magnum is bottled at 40% vol. and arrives in its wooden case.

PalateWood, spices (pepper), liquorice
