Castarède XO 20yo Bas Armagnac 70cl

Castarède XO Bas Armagnac: A Magnificent 20-Year Aged Brandy

Indulge in the unparalleled depth of Castarède XO Bas Armagnac, a testament to exceptional aging that far surpasses legal requirements. While XO Armagnac typically mandates a minimum of 10 years of maturation, Maison Castarède's exquisite expression is aged for an astounding 20 years, delivering a complexity that places it among the world's foremost brandies.

With a glorious, coppery topaz appearance, this Bas Armagnac reveals an intense and vibrant nose, bursting with character. Discover rich aromas of raisins, marrons glacés, fragrant cigar box, earthy sandalwood, and sweet prune.

The full-bodied and harmonious palate showcases magnificent complexity and remarkable length. You'll encounter profound notes of rancio—a coveted quality achieved through very long barrel maturation—alongside rich glazed plum and toasted oak. The experience culminates in a beautifully lingering finish of nutmeg and dried fruit.

Crafted from a blend of 30% Colombard, 20% Folle Blanche, and 50% Ugni Blanc Armagnac, this fine sipping spirit hails from the Castarède family, ennobled in 1818 and distilling since 1832. As the oldest trading House of Armagnac in France and a "Living Heritage Company," Castarède boasts one of the most important collections of Armagnac vintages.
