The gorgeous '48 is a spectacular although extremely rare vintage. The same bottle sells in Europe nearly double the price and other producers command many thousands of dollars for the vintage. Let's have a go. A lovely auburn color. The nose is an entrancing blend of sweet dark fruit, heady dark French roast, sweet red fruit, peach candies, dried mango and exotic spices. Subtle and rich on the palate with dense dark fruit and no drying tannin whatsoever. It's textural and rich giving a weight that many other old brandies at 80 proof don't exhibit. A lovely and extremely well priced bottle.

This is an elegant stunner. The nose is mighty, bringing out dense stewed stone fruit and freshly pressed espresso, mango chutney, star anise bark, and cherry pits. The palate expands upon those same aromatics with more licorice, earl grey tea, birch, and concord compote, as the finish expands into a bit of a musty old library with lingering pipe tobacco and leathery books.

Notes

Vaghi Armagnac is an independent bottler dedicated to preserving the individuality and quiet grandeur of Armagnac. Rather than distilling itself, Vaghi curates exceptional casks from traditional, often family-run producers, releasing them with minimal intervention to preserve their natural character. The focus is on single-cask, vintage-dated Armagnacs, frequently bottled at natural strength and presented with clear, transparent labeling. Shaped by traditional distillation and long maturation in oak, these spirits evolve from vibrant eaux-de-vie into layered, harmonious expressions marked by fruit, spice, and depth rather than weight. Spanning nearly a century of distillation, this library offers a rare perspective on Armagnac through individual vintages—each bottle a singular, unrepeatable record of time, place, and tradition.
