DESCRIPTION

The subtle encounter of Armagnac and Whisky.
Aged for 12 years in French oak casks, this Armagnac completes its maturation with 6 months in a barrel from the Caol Ila whisky distillery. It then becomes a unique product, no longer called Armagnac but “Double Cask.” The color is dark amber, the nose rich, woody, and peaty. The palate is full-bodied, balanced, and smoky, with a fine length combining the power of Armagnac and Whisky.
A refined and unique spirit that will surprise even the most discerning connoisseurs.
