Samalens VSOP Bas Armagnac

Armagnac Samalens VSOP is a delicious brandy. Made with a variety of different grapes, including Ugni Blanc, this armagnac is young, fruity, and vibrant. But what makes this different from a cognac? There are many things that differentiate cognac and armagnac. Armagnac tends to have higher alcohol content and is usually part of a single vintage or blend, whereas cognac is usually a blend of several vintages, rather than a blend. The flavor is quite different as well. Cognac is noted to be far more gentle and subtle on the palate, where armagnac tends to provide more kick and power when tasted.

The Armagnac Samalens VSOP is no different. It provides a tantalizing golden amber that is a delight to behold. The bouquet it delivers is full of red fruit with touches of cinnamon and vanilla. This particular armagnac delivers a hint of fruitiness, especially red fruit, with slight notes of tobacco, oak, and a variety of spices. Aging will see a lot of the fruitiness replaced with deep, rich, dark tones such as tobacco and chocolate.
