Minimum of 12 years by law, Duffau HA is a minimum of 15 years. Very aromatic. Rich flavors of toffee, old oak, plum and raisins: elegant rancio and long round fini Although Hors d'?ge translates as the subtle phrase beyond age
A newer producer in the world of cult single cask Armagnac, this is a style that is for the Bourbon heads and newly converted alike. Don't get us wrong, this is pure Armagnac through and through which is what we mean. It has the oak driven profile and the beautiful sweet, spice, vanilla and caramel notes that remind us of Bourbon. It is dry, slightly smoky, slightly tannic. But it also has much more going on and is remarkably well balanced at this age and proof. You could try in vain to find a Bourbon that delivers this much for this price, or you can try this instead.
The Armagnac XO is a blend of eight barrels spanning vintages 2006 to 1986 from five different domaines.
