Delord Bas-Armagnac 1976 is a rare and extraordinary piece of French spirits heritage — clear amber with beautiful gold reflections, and fifty years of patient ageing in one of more than 700 oak barrels at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax. Crafted from Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche, distilled through the family’s treasured old Sier Armagnac alambics at less than 30 litres per hour, and aged with the extraordinary patience that has made Delord’s vintage Armagnac range one of the most complete in existence. Vanilla, oakwood, marzipan, and dried fruits on the nose; cinnamon, marzipan, and toasted bread on the palate; rounded, soft, and elegantly easy to drink, with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of five decades of careful oak maturation. The perfect gift for those born in 1976. And a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.
