JEAN CAVÉ ARMAGNAC 20/20

  • Ageing Blend, age statement 20 years

The name says it all: a blend of twenty-year-old eaux-de-vie, signed by the Jean Cavé house in Lannepax. The age statement, the house notes, refers to the youngest spirit in the blend.

The finish is harmonious, lingering on gentle spices. Bottled at 43% vol., it is best served as a digestif, after coffee.
