• T8ke's Tasting Notes: Stewed fruits return with enticing orange, black cherry, succulent grape, black pepper and a layer of fig, balsamic and woody decadence. Rich palate, viscous once again with a syrupy texture, grippy tannin, a hint of minerality but more fruit, custard, demerara sugar and a pile of fig and cherries. Long, dry finish that's dug in, full of stewed fruits, a balancing act of oak and tenacious fruits, pushing forward with candied orange and ginger, black currant and boysenberries.

About The Release

A first for the United States; PM Spirits and Aficionados Group have partnered to helm the first import for a new Armagnac brand in the United States. Introducing Le Passeur, the bandit bottler, Armagnac smuggler, the mobile, militant estate crawler. Le Passeur works with Armagnac producers to bottle exceptional single casks directly on their estates, with no coloring, filtering or additives.
