A distinctive type of brandy that’s made from grapes, Armagnac – produced in the Gascony region south-west of Bordeaux in France – is a sweet spirit that makes for a lip-smacking digestif.
Think of it as a rustic rendition of brandy – fuller-bodied when compared to Cognac, perhaps – and is distilled just the once and often aged for many years (decades, even) in oak barrels to enrich its palate and enliven its nose.
