What is Armagnac?
Armagnac is a type of brandy produced in the Armagnac region of Southwest France. Distilled from white wine grapes, such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Folle Blanche, Armagnac undergoes a meticulous aging process in oak barrels, resulting in a spirit that exudes complexity, character, and a distinct sense of place.
How to Serve and Drink Armagnac?
Armagnac is best enjoyed when served in a tulip-shaped glass, which allows the aromas to concentrate and the flavours to be savoured. It is recommended to serve Armagnac neat, at room temperature, to fully appreciate its intricate nuances. Take small sips, allowing the spirit to linger on your palate and unravel its layers of flavours.
Armagnac vs Cognac
Armagnac and Cognac are both brandies, but they differ in terms of origin, production methods, and flavour profiles. While Cognac comes from the Cognac region of France and is double-distilled in pot stills, Armagnac hails from the Armagnac region and is typically single-distilled in continuous stills. As for flavours, Armagnac is often described as rustic and full-bodied, while Cognac tends to be smoother and more elegant.
