CASTARÈDE ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1995

• Ageing 25 years in cask, bottled in 2020
• Cask oak

A quarter of a century in cask: Castarède aged its 1995 harvest for twenty-five years in oak before bottling in 2020. In 2026, thirty-one years separate the harvest from your glass. This is a single-vintage eau-de-vie, unblended, brought to 40% vol. Castarède, founded in 1832 and recognised as an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, presents it in a 70 cl bottle with gift box. A wonderful choice for someone born in 1995 celebrating their 31st birthday.

The year 1995

Vintage grand

1995 was marked by the release of Toy Story, the first feature film made entirely with computer-generated imagery, a quiet revolution in the world of animated cinema.

How it is made

Our House allows its Armagnacs to age well beyond the periods required by law, in pursuit of a rare refinement. For more than 180 years, first in the chais at Pont de Bordes on the banks of the Baïse, then at Château de Maniban, a Bas-Armagnac estate, the Castarède family has lovingly kept alive a singular expertise in the service of Armagnac. Their commitment and passion for Armagnac have never wavered, and the water of immortality has preserved the enthusiasm of their eternal youth.
