Armagnac is a distinctive kind of brandy produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony, southwest France. It is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes including Baco 22A, Colombard, Folle blanche and Ugni blanc, using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of Cognac. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release. Armagnac was one of the first areas in France to begin distilling spirits, but the overall volume of production is far smaller than Cognac production and therefore is less known outside Europe. In addition, they are for the most part made and sold by small producers, whereas in Cognac production is dominated by big-name brands.

This is a rounded and rich Armagnac with a soft texture and a harmonious combination of licorice, apple pie, pear, nut butter, sweet spices, almonds and dried fruits. Armagnac is an excellent digestive, can be supplemented with a cigar, strong coffee, and also used as a component of cocktails. As a gastronomic combination, seafood or white meat dishes make a great match.
