DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1995

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1995 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

The 1995 harvest exists at Delord in two forms. The cask-strength expression, drawn from a single cask, n°2433, retains its natural strength of 47.5% vol. This vintage is reduced to 40% vol., in line with the rest of the house vintage range. The eau-de-vie comes from that single year, distilled at Lannepax and aged in the family cellars. Thirty-one years have passed since the harvest. A 70 cl basquaise bottle in a wooden case, for a 31st anniversary or to mark a date from 1995.

Serve with Neat, or with a cigar, a chocolate dessert or an arabica coffee, as the house suggests
