Delord Armagnac Xo Premium is a blend from the house of Delord, a family distiller established in Lannepax, in the Gers, since 1893. It is an XO blend, a category requiring a minimum of 10 years of ageing in cask, though the average age at Delord is considerably higher. The nose opens on woody, spiced aromas with notes of candied fruit (candied orange). The palate extends this impression with pastry-like aromas (caramel, vanilla, cream). A smooth and supple eau-de-vie, with well-integrated tannins and a very fine, lingering finish. Bottled at 42% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, this Armagnac is a fine expression of the typicity and expertise of the house of Delord.
