Minimum of 12 years by law, Duffau HA is a minimum of 15 years. Very aromatic. Rich flavors of toffee, old oak, plum and raisins: elegant rancio and long round finish. Producer Description.

The Wine Enthusiast writes: Although Hors d'âge translates as the subtle phrase "beyond age," the contrary label trumpets that this brandy is aged 12 years. This seems apt as there's little subtlety.. rich, bulldozer-bold flavors. Wine Enthusiast 94 Points.

A blend of Bas Armagnacs aged 6 to 12 years from the award-winning Ch de Laubade. Fragran aromas of violets, nougat and vanilla lead to a rich palate of bittersweet chocolate, spice and violet. Long, warm finish. Gold Medal, 2010 World Spirit Awards. Producer Notes.

The age of reason. According to the freshness and the balance of Armagnacs of this age, it is sometimes time, at the end of 50 years to stop the barrel ageing. However, the use of barrels that have been exhausted of their tannins over many years in contact with the eau de vie is still possible. The aromas of chocolate, leather and roasted notes are characteristic of these very old eaux de vie. Producer Description.

Darroze Grands Assemblages 8 years old: Marc Darroze has created this new range, using his huge family stocks of hand selected Bas Armagnacs, with vintages dating back over 100 years. This blend with very little wood influence, displays a predominance of fruity aromas, along with a variety of other flavours, including prunes, candied orange zest and quince to name but a few. A straight armagnac that is highly strung but nevertheless, smooth and enveloping. Producer Description.

After 10 years in contact with the oak, Armagnac starts to take on the aromas of ageing. The fruit that is still present, is accompanied by the first aromas of soft spices such as liquorice and cinnamon. Still quite fiery, this eau de vie will become more complex after a few minutes breathing in your glass. Producer Description.

A beautiful amber shade of antique gold. The bouquet initially suggests freshly baked bread and light toffee. Aeration reveals a gentle warmth that intensifies, leading to notes of candied angelica. The palate is bold and youthful, with a touch of vanilla, suffused with the heat of distillation and the youth of roasted oak. A brandy full of supple tenderness. Producer Description.
