In the department of France known as the Landes, they produced an agua ardente, or fire water, which was used initially as a therapeutic cure. Tasting Armagnac for pleasure ensued when it was established that storing the spirit in barrels developed desirable flavours. Armagnacs are the earliest examples of distilled wines known in France. Traditionally they are made using the Folle grape although others, including Colombard, Ugni Blanc and even more recently, the Baco all contribute to its flavour. Initially distillations were on a pot still but by the 19th century the continuous still was more highly favoured. The distillation process of armagnac allows the spirit to be distilled at a much lower alcohol content range than that of its big brother cognac, produced 100 miles to the north. The lower range produces a greater fruitiness (but less refined) flavour in the spirit. It is this process that produces the major differences between armagnac and cognac. Armagnac can be distilled between 52 degrees and 72.4 degrees alcohol whilst the lower end of the cognac distillation range is 67 degrees. Armagnacs distilled at the lower end of their range have a distinctive prune flavour which gradually turns to a more crystallised fruit flavour if the alcohol content is nearer the top of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-11T13:48:41-04:00","created_at":"2024-04-07T18:09:52-04:00","vendor":"ConciergeUK","type":"Brandy","tags":["NK050424","Proof_75 - 100 (37.5 - 50% ABV)","Source_SipWhiskey0424","Type_Brandy"],"price":140395,"price_min":140395,"price_max":140395,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44638193909898,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Armagnac Sempe Distilled in 1960","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":140395,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/23_8a451439-6c45-4385-8415-7859c3999b2c.webp?v=1712527856"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/23_8a451439-6c45-4385-8415-7859c3999b2c.webp?v=1712527856","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Armagnac Sempe Distilled in 1960 at CaskCartel.com","id":26669109248138,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1080,"width":1080,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/23_8a451439-6c45-4385-8415-7859c3999b2c.webp?v=1712527856"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/23_8a451439-6c45-4385-8415-7859c3999b2c.webp?v=1712527856","width":1080}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eBrandy: Armagnac Sempe Distilled in 1960\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is fruity and quite gourmand.
