The Sailors Say Brandy, She’s A Fine Girl

Some new brandy just arrived in the world – Armagnac Age de Glace – from the Chateau de Pellehaut estate in the Tenareze Armagnac appellation. The Age de Glace [that’s “Ice Age” to you, Francois] is a blend of young vintages of 100% Folle Blanche grape with a minimum of three years maturing in oak barrels.

The unfiltered Age de Glace clocks in at 80 proof [40% alcohol content] and will set you back between 40 and 50 American dollars per bottle.
