Bhakta Spirits
1962 Single Vintage Armagnac

Category: Luxury Armagnac

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 50.3%
Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of rancio, black walnut and vanilla pods, dried black and red fruits, and manuka honey and old cigar box with a round, crisp, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, complex, long finish with notes of dried red fruits and walnuts, dark honey and charred honey bun, spiced fudge, and orange oil on fine leather. Very well-aged and dense with oak flavors, leather, and earth but the dried fruits, flowers, and spices are still there and make this Armagnac sing in well-balanced harmony.
