DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1992
- Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1992 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
- Cask Oak casks, in the house's cellars at Lannepax (Gers)
In the year of the Albertville Winter Olympics, the house of Delord was distilling at Lannepax the harvest that gave rise to this Bas-Armagnac. Thirty-four years on, its ageing tannins are still perceptible, according to the house's own notes, and bring hints of toasted cereals and tobacco to an eau-de-vie described as full of character. The nose is highly aromatic, opening on vanilla and oak before closing on a whisper of cinnamon; the colour is old gold with copper highlights. Bottled at 40% vol. in a basquaise bottle of 70 cl, presented in a wooden case.
