Château de Ravignan 25yr Astor Select Single Cask Bas-Armagnac - 1998

We have been working directly with the Ravignan family for over a decade now and even after all this time and the many selections we've made, we can easily say this is one of the greatest spirits we've ever bottled from them and one of the best Armagnacs we've bottled. From the 1998 vintage, the brandy was aged in a single cask for a quarter century in the family chai next to the château and bottled at a natural cask strength. The flavors are expectedly deep, poewrful and complex considering the age of the spirit but it is also perfectly balanced with no heat from the alcohol and a virtuosic balance of sweet & savory, fruit and tannin. The standout notes of honey on buttered toast, nougat, black assam tea, licorice, dark chocolate and espresso will linger on your tastebuds and in your memory for ages.
