What is a 70-year-old Armagnac?

A 70-year-old Armagnac is a brandy that has aged for 70 years in Gascon oak barrels—a length of time beyond comprehension for a spirit. At this extreme stage, the Armagnac has developed aromas of legendary depth: absolute rancio, incense, old oak resin, oriental spices, rare tobacco, and notes of ancient wood. These bottles are true pieces of history.

70-year-old Armagnac vs 60-year-old vs 80-year-old: what's the difference?

At 60 years old, Armagnac is of meditative complexity, deep and persistent rancio. At 70 years old, it enters legend—the aromas reach a historical dimension and stocks are almost impossible to find. At 80 years and beyond, we're talking about museum pieces, acquired by the greatest connoisseurs and private collections in the world.
