La Maison & Veilier is no stranger to awards, with their portfolio earning gongs on a consistent basis. This 17-year-old Armagnac delivers again for the producer, with a distinctive floral elegance enhanced by lifted notes of lavender and clear honey. The palate has an intensely complex tapestry of flavours, with layers of crushed sultana, leather and Crunchie-bar honeycomb. Light spices come through with hints of honey and ripe red chilli on the dry, soft leather finish.
