JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1981

Ageing Vintage: single-harvest eau-de-vie from 1981, unblended
Cask 'Gros grains' oak, medium toast
Distillation Continuous

Jean Cavé presents this 1981 at 40.8% vol. It is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, continuously distilled and aged over many years in the cellars of Lannepax, with no blending whatsoever.

The Olympe decanter and its wooden arch make this a beautiful bottle to give for a birth that year, or to mark a 1981 wedding anniversary celebrated with family.
