New Vine Arts Exclusive Alert!
Armagnac’s profile is spicier and lighter than Cognac, and it’s traditionally distilled from a blend of grapes—including Baco, Colombard, Folle Blanche, and Ugni Blanc. This distinctive spirit is distilled using both column and pot stills, then aged in oak barrels, exclusively in the Armagnac region of France.
Crafted entirely from the Baco grape, Récapet Armagnac VSOP opens with irresistible notes of salted caramel, ripe mirabelle plum, and the warm spice of speculoos.
Rich and full-bodied, it finishes with a long, chalky texture and a subtle peppery kick. Whether sipped neat or used as the base in cocktails like an Old Fashioned, Negroni, Boulevardier, or Sazerac, this Armagnac is a versatile choice that can easily replace whiskey or gin in any bold drink.
