"Luscious dark amber colour attesting to the evident rancio aromas, dried figs and woody aromas. A complex and rich palate, dried figs, dates, plums and nuts enveloped by vanilla oak. More dark fruits, rancio and vanilla linger on the finish."

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 birthyear 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!"

This 1972 Bas Armagnac from Chateau de Gaube is the last cask of this parcel from Grosperrin's cellars. 44.4% 91pts WhiskyFun
Producer Tasting Note
"This is our seventh bottling of Notable Age Statements and it contains a 1972 single cask of Bas Armagnac from Chateau De Gaube, bottled at natural cask strength and 50 years of age.
This is the sibling cask to our Armagnac Sponge Edition 2 and also the last of these casks in Grosperrin’s cellars. We are in love with this Armagnac, stunningly fresh, vibrant, fruity and still showing amazing potency and richness after so many years in wood. Expect an avalanche of ripe and dried fruits of many shades and variety, along with a whole beehive of honey and a big sloppy smooch of rancio! Fans of 1950s Glen Grant, Strathisla and Linkwood etc... PAY ATTENTION! "
