How it is made

The story of Armagnac Delord begins in 1893. Prosper, an itinerant distiller and cellar master, travelled from farm to farm with his alembic still. His two sons, Gaston and Georges, established the Maison d'Armagnac Delord Frères in Lannepax. Jacques, Gaston's eldest son, carried the venture forward, joined by his brother Pierre in 1973. Sylvain and Jérôme, Jacques's two sons, now form the new generation at the helm: one devoted to the spirit itself, nosing, tasting and blending, while the other brings the art of bringing it to the world.
