Castarède 18 Years Old Brut de Fût

The Castarède 18 Years Old Brut de Fût Armagnac is a sublime expression of time and tradition, embodying the heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the Maison Castarède. Established in 1832, Maison Castarède is celebrated for its dedication to producing Armagnac of unparalleled quality, a commitment that is beautifully realized in this 18-year-old vintage.

Sourced from cask number 98, distilled in 1996, and nurtured in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region, this Armagnac is a testament to the sandy loam soils that define the area's terroir.

The natural alcohol content has gracefully reduced to 47% over the years, resulting in a spirit that is both robust and harmoniously balanced.
