Bhakta Spirits
1985 Single Vintage Armagnac

Category: Luxury Armagnac

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 53.4%
Medium golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of all spice and angostura bark, cinnamon, milk chocolate, and leather, plum and duck sauce, and pecans and English toffee with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a peppery, compelling, medium-long finish with notes of slightly overcooked peanut brittle and burnt sugar, english toffee and cocoa, rooibos and leather, and orange peel and walnuts. Delicious and well-aged but not yet old, this starts to show some rancio but is still very feisty with bold citrus notes and spice from beginning to end.
