JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1990

Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1990 harvest alone, unblended
Cask Large-grain oak, medium toast
Distillation Continuous

Alongside the 1973, 1984 and 2001 vintages, the 1990 harvest goes into the Jean Cavé house XXO.

A fine choice for a birth year, a 1990 wedding anniversary, or an enthusiast curious to compare a single vintage with a blend.
