Nos Armagnacs - vs

6 items

    Over the years, Armagnac's names have evolved. Some have resisted time. This is the case with the VS (also called three stars). This is the youngest of Armagnac Vieillie Eau-de-Vie that is marketed. The youngest of Armagnacs assembled for the VS must have spent at least one year in oak barrels. This very young Armagnac is finding a second youth thanks to the explosion of the cocktail market and mixology in general. He comes to compete (such as white) many other white alcohols.

    Short aging

    It is important to note that the designation "VS" on a bottle of Armagnac only indicates the minimum level of aging and does not necessarily represent the overall quality of the Armagnac. Other factors, such as terroir, grape varieties used and distillation techniques, can also influence the flavor profile and quality of the spirit.
