DELORD ARMAGNAC 25 YEARS D'ÂGE
- Ageing Blend, 25 years of age and over
- Cask New French oak (heavy toast), then older casks described as 'semi-exhausted' or 'exhausted'
- Grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco and Folle Blanche
Delord's technical sheet for their 25-year-old describes a very deep amber colour with olive-green highlights; the house website notes a very elegant nose dominated by pepper and spices, followed by a palate that reveals its complexity: vanilla, cocoa, spices, rancio and well-rounded tannins. The eaux-de-vie, drawn from Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Baco and Folle Blanche, are aged first in new oak casks, then in older ones. The house even recommends it in an Old Fashioned, or served alongside a chocolate dessert. 70 cl bottle, 40% vol.
