CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1991

Ageing 29 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask oak

A ruby wedding anniversary calls for something fitting: for a couple wed in 1991, this Castarède carries the right date. The eau-de-vie aged for twenty-nine years in oak casks before being bottled in 2020, and has rested undisturbed ever since. It is a single harvest, unblended, brought to 40% vol. Castarède, a family house since 1832, presents it in a 70 cl bottle with a gift box. A ruby needs no lengthy explanation, and a 1991 Armagnac does not either: it simply needs to be poured at the right moment, at the close of an anniversary dinner.
