Armagnac Castarede 1968 Armagnac 750ml

Aroma
A little herbal with some bay, nutmeg and prune
Ageing
All Castarede armagnacs are well aged in oak casks to provide the maximum tannins. The cellars are next to the Baise ensuring that they are always damp and providing the best conditions for these fine armagnacs.
Distillation
Single distillation at around 58 – 60 degrees providing more complex aromas and taste
Flavour
Richer than some of Florence Castarede's armagnacs. This is much more nutty and has some toffee and roasted walnut flavours.
Grape Variety
Mainly Colombard, some Folle Blanche and sometimes some Ugni Blanc
Reduction and Strength
40% abv. Small reduction occurs with distilled water only.
Viticulture
The climate is soft and humid with sunny autumns and the soil is made of siliceous clay which is poor in lime, giving Bas Armagnacs a lightness and fragrance with subtle tastes
