CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1974

Ageing 46 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask Oak

Castarède sums up its 1974 in a few words: traditional Armagnac, woody and vigorous. Distilled fifty-two years ago, the spirit spent forty-six years in oak casks before being bottled in 2020. The house tasting notes, reproduced below, describe a fruity nose opening on apricot and citrus. The Castarède family has watched over these vintages from Château de Maniban. 70 cl bottle, 40% vol., presented in a gift box: a perfect choice for the 52nd birthday of someone born in 1974.
