DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1983

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1983 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

Jacques and Sylvain Delord drew on their 1983 reserves to compose Création N°15, alongside 1975, 1979 and 2000, according to the house's 2026 documentation. This bottle offers that same year in its pure form: a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled at Lannepax and aged in oak casks in the family cellars. Forty-three years separate it from 2026. The strength is that of the entire Delord vintage range, 40% vol., and the presentation is one for great occasions: a 70 cl basquaise bottle in a wooden case. A fine choice for a birth, a meeting or a milestone from 1983.

Serve with Neat, or with a cigar, a chocolate dessert or an arabica coffee, as the house suggests
