JEAN CAVÉ BAS-ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1996

Ageing Vintage: eau-de-vie from the 1996 harvest alone, unblended
Cask Wide-grained oak, medium char
Distillation Continuous

An ideal choice for a 1996 birth, a wedding anniversary from that year, or a newcomer taking their first steps into the world of cask-strength eaux-de-vie.
