Product description
Castarede Armagnac 1986 is a premium vintage spirit produced in the Armagnac region of France. Established in 1832, Maison Castarede is recognized as the oldest trading house of Armagnac still in operation. The company is currently managed by Florence Castarede, representing the sixth generation of the family. The spirit is distilled from white wine made from high acidity, low alcohol grapes and is aged in 400-liter handmade oak barrels in the family's century-old cellars located on the banks of the Baïse River.

Aroma: An inviting bouquet unfolds with simmered fruits, cedar-kissed oak, and nutty pecans. Hints of honey, juicy plums, and a subtle kick of white pepper lead into indulgent notes of creamy vanilla and sticky dates.
Palate: The entry is smooth and elegant, confirming the complex nose. Flavours of dried fruits are followed by the warmth of bread pudding and molten toffee, with baking spices providing a gentle lift.
Body: It is characterized as light and pleasant with a poised finesse that avoids overwhelming heat.
Finish: The exit is marked by soft, refined tannins and a clean, satisfying sensation.
ABV: This Armagnac is typically bottled at 40%.
