Armagnac is a type of brandy produced in the Gascony region of southwestern France. It is made from distilled white wine and is known for its rich flavors and aromas. The production process involves pot still distillation, which contributes to its unique character. Armagnac is typically aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop complex notes over time. The Armagnac region is divided into several areas, including Bas-Armagnac, Ténarèze, and Haut-Armagnac. Each area has its own distinct terroir, influencing the taste of the final product. Armagnac is often enjoyed neat or in cocktails, and it is recognized for its deep amber color and smooth finish.
