Armagnac

Armagnac is a type of brandy from the Gascony region in southwestern France. It is made from wine, primarily using grapes like Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche. The production process involves distilling the wine, typically using traditional pot stills, and then aging it in oak barrels, which imparts unique flavors and aromas. Armagnac is known for its rich, complex character and can vary in age, with older varieties offering deeper taste profiles. It is often enjoyed neat or in cocktails and is recognized as a premium spirit, standing apart from other brandies like Cognac.
