Twenty Barrels, Twenty-Five Years
Where the 50 Year is a monument, the 25 Year is the sweet spot: old enough for genuine rancio and depth, young enough to keep its fruit vivid. Each bottling comes from a dumping of 20 barrels or fewer — small enough that the Maître de Chai can balance every cask — all of them tight-grained Gascon oak, rich in tannins, that colored the spirit deeply over a quarter century. Shop armagnac, explore the Cyrano range, or step up to the rarest French brandies on our shelves.
Tasting Notes
Plum, apricot, and orange peel meet vanilla, toasted hazelnut, and warm baking spice, with the first hints of rancio — walnut skin, old leather — emerging on the mid-palate. The tannin-rich oak gives structure without bitterness; the 42% ABV carries a long, spiced, faintly smoky finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature. If the 50 Year is out of reach, this is the Cyrano to buy — and frankly, many drinkers prefer the 25's livelier fruit. Pair with dark chocolate or a fine cigar.
