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).

Quality Armagnac from grapes picked in 1975.  The brandy lies in barrel for decades before bottling.

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...

Vintage Armagnac from 1995 bottled in May 2018.

When everyone else was panicking about Y2K, de Montal was still calmly bottling their pristine Armagnac. Cheers!

De Montal's Hors D'Age (literally "out of age", with a minimum 12-years-aged in the blend) is smooth, bronze-gold goodness.

The VSOP from the cooperative Compagnie des Produits de Gascogne, who produce Montal for the export market.  VSOP demands the brandy ages at least four years; Montal's version contains brandies up to twenty. 

Smooth, long-aged Armagnac with strong vanilla and clove aromas. 

"Look for rich flavors and dark spices: toffee, burnt caramel, dark-roast coffee, deeply toasted gingerbread embellished with clove and black pepper. The notably long sweet-and spiced finish will not quit."

"With aromas of dried fruits and vanilla, this Armagnac will amaze you on the palate with its notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla), its woodiness and its rancio."

"Elegant on the nose, with its peppery and spicy notes, it is on the palate that it reveals all its complexity."

Delord's "without age" offering, blended from a variety of vintages with a minimum age of 10 years.
