Chateau de Lacquy 17 year Bas Armagnac

43.5% ABV

Chateau de Lacquy is the oldest family-owned Armagnac estate, producing and bottling spirits produced from their own vineyards since 1711. The current owner is the 10th generation to run the Chateau. Their 17 year old is made from 60% Baco, 30% Ugni Blanc, and 10% Colombard grapes grown on their estate. It was distilled on a wood-fired copper column still. It was aged for 15 years in 110 liter French oak barrels, then blended and aged for an additional 2 years in 420 liter barrels. Bottled without added colorants, caramel, or chill filtration. 

An exceptional mature Armagnac with aromas of prunes, toasty oak, vanilla, and spiced nuts. On the palate, it is still fresh and lively even after 17 long years in barrel. Cocoa, vanilla and baking spice, and dried fruit with a creamy texture and a long and persistent finish. A stunning Armagnac from perhaps the most traditional producer in the region.
