Delord Armagnac 25 Year

Ruddy copper color. The nose is rich with orchard fruits, vanilla, and lightly tannic oak. The mouthfeel is unfortunately thin, and would benefit from a higher ABV. On the palate I get baked red apples, white grapes, vanilla, Graham crackers, ground nutmeg, yuzu, and, strangely, water. It is as if I can actually taste the water they used to dilute this down to 40%. The finish is medium length, with vanilla, baked apples, and faint citrus. Overall, this is really good but would be so much improved with a higher ABV.

My first Armagnac purchase in an attempt to expand my options beyond whiskey. It very nice. Woody. Fruity. My only criticism would be it’s bottom level proof. But trying to find a cask strength version is proving to be difficult.

Absolutely delicious! Complex and sweet neat.

Spectacular from nose no long, luxurious finish. It contains multitudes: oak, candied fruit, walnut, cinnamon… the list could go on. This a warm and complex spirit, layered harmoniously with flavors and aromas that combine to far greater than their sum as parts. To drink it approaches a religious experience.

Extremely tasty. Definite strong aromas and tastes of grape must and orange, but with solid earthy and woody notes as well as honey. Very smooth and well-balanced - a great after-dinner drink.
