Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a rich, deep amber colour with warm golden reflections and brilliant clarity, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of an assembly of Armagnacs aged between 25 and 45 years in oak barrels at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax — the ancestral home of one of Armagnac’s most celebrated and visionary producers, presented beautifully in a wooden gift box.
Aroma
The nose is elegant and deeply complex, with notes of orange flower, star anise and hazelnut creating a sophisticated and beautifully layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects the extraordinary depth and character that only an assembly of Armagnacs aged between 25 and 45 years can achieve, with each element in perfect harmony — a testament to the extraordinary patience and expertise of the Delord family and their prized Sier Armagnac alambics that produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie per hour.
Palate
Rounded, soft and beautifully approachable — the hallmark Delord style — the palate delivers the orange flower, star anise and hazelnut of the nose with exceptional depth, warmth and complexity. The finish is long and deeply satisfying, with the extraordinary concentration and character that only decades of careful oak maturation can achieve. An outstanding Armagnac of genuine distinction, refinement and historic depth.
Pairs With
This exceptional Bas-Armagnac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, hazelnut praline, orange tart, crème brûlée, dried figs, or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a very special meal, making it the ultimate gift for those born in 1963 and a truly extraordinary addition to any serious spirits collection.
