CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1972

Ageing 48 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask oak

Castarède recommends enjoying its 1972 on its own, without any other flavour on the palate: a smooth Armagnac, best appreciated without coffee or dessert. The harvest spent forty-eight years in oak casks before being bottled in 2020. In 2026, it stands at fifty-four years from the vintage. This single-vintage eau-de-vie is bottled at 40% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, presented in its case. A fine birthday gift for someone born in 1972, best served in a tulip glass.

PalateWell-crafted and thoroughly smooth; best enjoyed on its own, without any other aroma on the palate

Serve with best served as a digestif
