Description
XO in Armagnac has to be aged for a minimum of 6 years. Dartigalongue ages its XO for 10 years. Warm and honey gold color, scents of almond paste and fruits. In the mouth, the wood is light and not overpowering, allowing some flavors of tropical fruits, apricot and vanilla. the finish is medium long and elegant.

From “the oldest House in Armagnac” comes a well-balanced sipper that’s reminiscent of Bourbon with its deep amber color; its rich, sweet caramel note; and bold finish that tastes of maple-butter sprinkled with clove and cinnamon.

Dartigalongue’s XO is burly, with cologne-like aromas, and surprisingly complex for its youth (10-year-old brandies in the blend). Buttery, with flavors of dried plum, candied ginger and walnut, and a spicy finish of clove and cardamom. A Rye drinker’s Armagnac. Bas-Armagnac, 40% abv.
