CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1992

  • Ageing 28 years in cask, bottled in 2020
  • Cask oak

Castarède bottled its 1992 harvest in 2020, after twenty-eight years in oak casks. Couples who wed in 1992 may also see in it a nod to the amber wedding anniversary, and amber is precisely the colour Armagnac takes on in the cask. The spirit comes from a single harvest, unblended, brought to 40% vol. Founded in 1832 and based at Château de Maniban, Castarède is regarded as the oldest independent, family-owned Armagnac merchant. 70 cl bottle in a gift box.
