Golden color with dark tints. Despite its age, this Armagnac has a potent, juvenile nose with aromas of acacia mingling with notes of prune and cinnamon. Long on the palate. Distillery Notes. 100% Baco 41.%abv 52 in oak bottled: June 2023

Marc has partnered with a high-quality mobile distiller, who makes the rounds in a truck after harvest much as mobile distillers would in the bygone days of horse and wagon. Thus Marc both buys barrels of aged Armagnac from farmers like his father did, and he buys the just-distilled white spirits from a given farm and ages it himself. Typically, a new spirit will go into a new barrel in the drier Darroze cellar (Marc has separate ageing cellars), two conditions that encourage faster evaporation and oxidation. After several years, this spirit is racked into an older barrel and moved to the more humid cellar, factors that naturally slow the maturation process. Importer Notes.
