The oldest house in Bas Armagnac, the Dartigalongue family began to distill in 1813. In 1838, Pascal Dartigalongue founded the first Maison d'Armagnac in Nogaro, the heart of the Bas Armagnac region. In 1870 son Joseph acquired a large vineyard in Salles d'Armagnac near Nogaro.
The Dartigalongue Vintage 1924 100 Year Old Bas Armagnac is a truly exceptional and rare spirit, showcasing the artistry of over a century of aging. Produced in the Bas Armagnac region by the Dartigalongue family, this vintage is aged for an extraordinary 100 years, a process that imparts deep complexity and refinement.
On the nose, the Armagnac offers a rich bouquet of leather, tobacco, and dried fruit, with subtle hints of spice and oak. The taste is opulent and smooth, with flavors of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and honeyed figs. The long aging process has resulted in a remarkable balance between the soft warmth of the alcohol and the richness of the wood, while maintaining an incredibly smooth texture and lingering finish.
This vintage embodies a rare combination of patience, heritage, and craftsmanship, making it a collector's dream. It is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience for connoisseurs of aged spirits.
