1995 Delord Bas Armagnac (700ml)

Older Delords tend to develop richness and roundness - with exceptions. This example requires plenty of air contact to fully appreciate. Patience sees the fruit character emerge beyond what is initially a fairly subdued, oak-driven brandy. Tasted from a 30ml sample. 40% Alc./vol.

Situated in Bas-Armagnac, Delord's distillery is to be found in the village of Lannepax, the ancestral home of the Delord family. They comment, "Our old Sier Armagnac alambics, that we wouldn't part with for all the gold in the world, produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie an hour. Our cellars contain our old treasured vintages and include more than 700 oak barrels that protect and age the Armagnac eau-de-vie dating from the 20th Century to the present day". 40% Alc./Vol.
