Taste: dried fruits like raisins, dried figs and orange peels. turns herbal and dry with peppermint, lots of tobacco leaves and hints of clove. Some medicinal notes, with pleasant woodiness coming through.

"Heeeey, please do not export all our best casks! Having said that, it's more sensible to export casks of brandy than warplanes and landmines, if you ask me… The estate is secret this time. Colour: deep gold. Nose: it's an easy one and it is perfect. It's full of ripe peaches, preserved apricots, mature cantaloupes, stronger honeys, raisins, panettone, liquorice allsorts once more, dates and figs… What's also funny is that it would feel younger than the gloriously monstrous Lous Pibous. With water: ripe peaches in full majesty. Mouth (neat): totally good for a while (stewed fruits, oranges, raisins and jams) but it would then become a tad too piney and tobacco-y for my taste, that's the old age and wood. With water: wow, water makes wonders, erases any excessive woodiness (it's the other way 'round in general), and brings out bags of raisins and dried figs. It is not the Riemann hypothesis, but a little simplicity in our spirits does no bad (in language too). Finish: medium, jammy, full of raisins and soft dried fruits. Comments: just lovable. Wee death-seat effect after the Lous Pibous. SGP:641 – 89 points."

This 1977 vintage Bas Armagnac has been bottled by Decadent Drinks at a natural cask strength of 45.2%. 90pts WhiskyFun
Producer Description
"1977 is an excellent but super rare vintage, thanks to an unusually low harvest that year. All of which makes this wee bottling a total gem and a bit of a no-brainer for us when it came to selecting our latest Armagnac Sponge. A perfect natural strength and bags of concentrated dark fruits, honey and intricate wood spices. Luscious, decadent and something undeniably very special!"

If you are looking to gift somebody a birth year bottle of something they can either drink now or hold onto as long as they want, Castarède Armagnac should be considered.
The Armagnac House Castarède was founded in 1832 and remains in the same family to this day. It is now headed by Florence Castarede, who is the sixth generation of the Castarède family in charge of the Armagnac house. Castarède has an impressive selection of vintages still available, with consecutive vintages from 2003 back to the 1890s.
The vineyards are in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region and are planted with a variety of grapes: Folle Blache, Colombard and Saint-Emillion. Castarede Armagnacs then get aged in black oak barrels in the family's ancient cellars, before a little bit finds its way to Canada for fans like us!

This 58 year old Armagnac is a Bas Armagnac from Chateau du Gaube, distilled in 1963. It has been bottled under Decadent Drinks' Notable Age Statement range at 46.3%.
Producer Description
"Extremely classical in style, it leans more heavily towards a rustic and earthy Armagnac profile dominated by dark fruits, layers of earth, tobaccos and chocolate, and many wonderful honeyed and fruity complexities. A glorious aged spirit that is the epitome of class, pleasure and decadence in a glass!"
