De Montal's 1952 vintage! Drink in honour of Volcán de Parícutin's nine-year-long hostile takeover of Mexican farmer Dionisio Pulido's cornfield, begun in '43 and ending in February of the year this was fruit was harvested.
De Montal's 1957 vintage! This is the year the Africanized honey bee, also known as the "killer bee", was accidentally released in Brazil! :S Of the two, we think Armagnac is the better import.
De Montal's 1974 vintage! Sean Connery stars in the sci-fi film Zardoz in an effort to shrug off his James Bond aura, and trades in his signature vesper martini for premium armagnac (we assume. Don't fact check that).
De Montal's 1982 vintage! Rod Stewart temporarily loses his $50,000 Porsche to a mugger in Los Angeles. Did he drink de Montal to cope? We don't know. Could be, though. Could be...
De Montal's 1993 vintage! The Czech Republic and Slovakia agree to disagree, and Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger hits living rooms across North America as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Cheers!
