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 tastes over time. There are several classifications of Armagnac based on age, including VS (Very Special), VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale), and XO (Extra Old). The aging process can range from a few years to several decades, resulting in a diverse range of products that appeal to different palates.
