CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1996

Ageing 24 years in cask, bottled in 2020
Cask oak

This 1996 harvest is a fitting gift for people born in 1996 or for weddings celebrated in 1996. Castarède aged it for twenty-four years in oak casks, then bottled it in 2020. The eau-de-vie, from a single vintage and unblended, was brought down to 40% vol. Castarède, a family house since 1832, ages its Armagnacs at Château de Maniban, in Mauléon-d'Armagnac. For a dinner celebrating a 1996 birth or wedding, you can bring it to the table at dessert and let each guest discover what a vintage eau-de-vie becomes with time. 70 cl bottle, presented in a gift box.
