Armagnac is a French brandy made from white grapes (usually 'Baco', 'Colombard', 'Folle Blanche' and 'Ugni Blanc') and produced with a protected designation of origin in the Armagnac region of south-western France. Often confused with Cognac, Armagnac is one of the oldest French distillates and is produced using a column still and distilled only once continuously. After distillation, Armagnac is matured in oak barrels from Monlezano, Limousin or Tronsay, giving it its distinctive, complex flavours and aromas, which change from fresh fruit to spicy notes as it matures. Unlike Cognac, Armagnac is very often released in specific years.
