CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1986
- Ageing 34 years in cask, bottled in 2020
- Cask oak
This is the vintage for anyone born in 1986, and for couples who married that year. Castarède aged this harvest for thirty-four years in oak casks, then bottled it in 2020. Since then, the Armagnac has been resting quietly in the bottle. The house, founded in 1832, offers here a single-year eau-de-vie, unblended, brought down to 40% vol. A 70 cl bottle presented in a gift box: a fitting present for a milestone occasion.
