Comments:

This armagnac is from a mystery house. Much googling and searching in reference books only leads me to sale listings, and a reference on the famous Whiskyfun website that says, in effect, "never heard of this house". It's a 3 star, so a VS in old money, rather young, probably under 4 years old.

The brandy is not bad per se, it's quite substantial for young spirit. There's plenty of chocolate, almost malty chocolate, alongside plenty of fruit, including some very interesting notes of peach jam. I quite enjoyed this.

Verdict:

I like this.
