Castarede Blanche D'Armagnac 80
Castarede Blanche D'Armagnac 80
Description
Castarède Blanche d'Armagnac is a clear, unaged Armagnac — the same grapes and Gascon terroir as aged Armagnac, but bottled fresh from the still for a vibrant, fruit-forward spirit.
Maison Castarède, founded in 1832, is the oldest Armagnac trading house in the world. Blanche d'Armagnac shares the name, grape varieties, and Gascony origin of its aged cousin, but skips barrel aging entirely — producing a cleaner, clearer spirit. Smoother and rounder than most eaux-de-vie yet still potent, it is richer and warmer than vodka and notably versatile behind the bar.
