CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1994
- Ageing 26 years in cask, bottled in 2020
- Cask oak
The 1994 harvest was aged twenty-six years in oak casks by Castarède before being bottled in 2020. The house prides itself on ageing periods well beyond the regulatory minimums, and on family ownership since 1832. This single-vintage, unblended eau-de-vie is bottled at 40% vol. The 70 cl bottle comes in a gift box, a fitting tribute to someone born in 1994; the back label shows the bottling date.
