- Certainly grappa-like, but less extreme: Walnut shells and almonds. Soft citrus: lemon zest, orange zest. Kiwis. Anise seed. Vanilla pod. Creamy coffee note. Dates. Prunes. Raisins. Figs. Hint of apple sauce! Faintly tropical: papayas, mangos, pineapple. Coconut milk. Chocolate note. Pistachio ice cream! Sugary, but not overly so. Vegetal. Earthy. Grassy. Little bit of brown spice to it too, similar to a young sherried whisky. Rounded, soft. Velvety mouthfeel. Also, I get a punch of red currant, with a hint both of raspberries and gooseberries, on the nose as I'm finishing my glass of this, when there's just the tiniest well aerated sip left. I do recommend softening it up with a drop of water, and letting it aerate. Not that it's at all out of balance. *Quite* the contrary! Appreciate the 46% abv. Really appreciate being able to taste Tariquet's tremendous Folle Blanche Eau-de-Vie right out of the tubes!

About this bottle
Blanche Armagnac became an officially recognized AOC in 2005, but Tariquet released their version in 2004 under the former name “Eau-de-Vie de Folle Blanche”. The four major grapes (folle blanche, ugni blanc, colombard, and baco blanc) in Armagnac are allowed for production providing they are from the Armagnac region, but only folle blanche is used in this bottling. It is unaged and bottled at 92 proof.
