Janneau Brandy Armagnac VSOP, 70 cl

Product Information

These unique stills produce a spirit that’s full of character, sometimes a little fiery in youth, but responds well to long-ageing in wood. In 1818, a patent for a continuous distillation alembic led to the main difference between Armagnac and Cognac, which is double distilled in batches. This expression was aged for a whole decade in French oak, before being bottled at 40% ABV and presented in a simple though rather striking bottle. The wine is distilled through a column still and placed in white oak casks for a minimum of ten years to comply with the “Hors d’ Age” requirements for XO Armagnac.
