Delord Armagnac 25 Year

Absolutely magnificent. Well worth the price!

This is a must try, especially for those that have never tried cognac and love whiskey.

First let me say this is my first dive into Armagnac. Being a fan of American Whiskey and bourbon this was a branching out for me. It was a way for me to challenge my palate with something new, and learn. I am so glad I did! On the nose this is honey, fig, a hint of chocolate, and golden raisin. It is so rich and decadent. On the taste it is buttery and the richness really comes through. There is a bit of cereal bar with that delightful fig and golden raisin taste. This has the slightest of burn. The finish was warming and oaky. Very pleasant and making you wanting for more. Overall my first dive into Armagnac is one I will repeat swimming in the waters of! I really enjoyed the buttery richness, and the rugged sweet fruitiness of this spirit. This was a super good spirit for me. I have no other things to compare it to, so I will give it 4.5 on taste and texture alone with .5 points of a buffer just in case my future explorations offer one better.
