Bas Armagnac Marie Duffau 1997 750ml
About this bottle
Bas-Armagnac Marie Duffau 1997 is a vintage-dated brandy from the Marie Duffau house in Gascony, France, distilled in 1997 and aged roughly 25 years before bottling — true Bas-Armagnac rather than Cognac, made from regional wine grapes and typically distilled just once, which leaves more of the raw fruit character intact. The nose carries crushed violets, dried fruit and a touch of spice, and the palate follows through with dried apricot and prune balanced against vanilla and warm spice. The finish is long, carrying real weight and complexity rather than fading quickly. This is a sipping brandy for someone who already knows they like Armagnac's rougher, more fruit-driven edge next to Cognac's polish.
How to drink Bas-Armagnac Marie Duffau 1997
Take it neat in a tulip glass to let the dried fruit and spice open up, or add a single ice cube if you want it slightly softened. It's too characterful to bury in a mixed drink.

Questions about this bottle
How should Bas-Armagnac Marie Duffau be served?
Neat, in a tulip-shaped glass, is the traditional way to drink an aged Armagnac like this one; one ice cube is fine if you prefer it a touch softer.
What's the difference between Armagnac and Cognac?
Both are French brandies, but Armagnac is typically distilled once in a column still rather than twice, which tends to leave more of the raw grape character in the glass.
How old is this bottling?
It's a vintage-dated Bas-Armagnac distilled in 1997 and aged roughly 25 years before release, rather than a blend of multiple vintages.
