About this bottle

Réserve de la Famille is an Armagnac from the Castarède family, 6th generation producers in the Bas-Armagnac region since 1832. This armagnac is distilled from ugni blanc, colombard, and folle blanche grapes before it is aged for at least 20 years in Monlezun oak barrels that are kept in the family's 100 year old cellars.

Nose contains plum, vanilla, buttered toast, and nougat. In the palate, there's leather, mid range caramels, nutmeg, oak, and mandarines. The finish is where it gets quite interesting. Rancio comes forward, gently, with a faint musty and cooked fruit note. There's overcooked biscuits, shoe polish, and a slight creamy note not unlike whey. It's impeccably smooth with a medium finish and lingering bit of jam on the roof of the mouth.
