Armagnac: Domaine Horgelus 12 YearsSubtle and bewitching, the nose mixes notes of candied fruit and rancio, with some cigar box aromas. The attack on the palate is particularly delicate, elegant, with a smoky persistence on the finish.

Bas Armagnac: Croix de Salles 1990It was in 1872 that Joseph Dartigalongue founded Armagnac La Croix de Salles, named after the property he acquired in Salles d'Armagnac, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac. Since then, every year, the eau-de-vie that comes out of the still is housed in oak barrels to produce, after a long aging in their century-old cellars, Armagnacs of great finesse. Armagnac is mostly made with a grape called Ugni Blanc, and is distilled only once and aged in a different wood, therefore more rustic and fuller than Cognac. This particular vintage is from 1990.

Cognac: Painturaud Vieille RéserveAt least 20 years are required to produce Painturaud's Vieille Réserve cognac. This long aging process gives it an amber hue with brilliant highlights of pure gold. The youngest of their aged cognacs, its bouquet expresses an intensity and great length of aromas of undergrowth, dry vine shoots, vanilla, and the first notes of rancio. The palate offers the sweetness of fully ripe fruit. Extremely mellow, velvety, and caressing.
