Armagnac: Baron Gaston Legrand, 1995, 40% (and a wrap up)
The ninth and final Armagnac from the bottle share is another Bas Armagnac, like the Laballes and the Tariquet from a couple of days ago. I didn’t overly like those drinks, even though Bas Armagnac is supposedly the better terroir … Continue reading

Armagnac: Saint Christeau 1950 and 1938
The Saint Christeau Armagnac was varying from 1990 back to 1938. I initially planned to stretch that time span further, between 1995 and 1934. Unfortunately these two were not available anymore and I settled for the others. Whichever way you … Continue reading

Armagnac: Saint Christeau 1990 & Tariquet Blanche
Another Saint Christeau Armagnac, and a weird one. The Tariquet Blanche is not just 100% folle blanche (which is the grape), it is also a blanche Armagnac. Which is just a fancy way of saying they didn’t bother to age … Continue reading

Armagnac: Saint Christeau 1940 & 1987
The intention of the bottle share was to do only Armagnacs from the Saint Christeau brand, but as it turned out the shop had some stock issues and couldn’t deliver, or find, the bottles I ordered. Hence the switch to … Continue reading

Armagnac: Two Armagnacs from Chateau Laballe (Réserve and 2006 vintage
When I started going through the Armagnacs from that recent bottle-share, I decided to start with the more recent distillates. On the other hand, I couldn’t wait to dive into the old ones too. What I did was make a line-up … Continue reading

Armagnac bottle share: Saint Christeau from Distillerie Gilbert Miclo
So, while we’re at it, I was talking about getting interested in other boozes, like Armagnac and Sake. I have yet to get into the Sake shtick, but I am following through with that Armagnac bottle share. I know of a … Continue reading

Vallein Tercinier 53 years old, 1967, 47% – Wu Dram Clan
Again, it seems Wu Dram is forever. Or at least for 53 years now. I’ve never had much Cognac before. I tried some Armagnacs and my father-in-law had me try some Cognac in the past, but I never got into … Continue reading

Recalibrating my own sample usage
Yesterday I was out on the hunt for a new car. This has nothing to do with whisky except that I got near Rotterdam and picked up some bottles from Whiskybase. After that I drove to Den Bosch to visit … Continue reading

Copper & Kings Butchertown Brandy, 62%
I guess there’s a first for everything. In this case a first American brandy, distilled in a hotbed of bourbon distilleries: Louisville, Kentucky. The brandy was matured in bourbon casks for an unknown amount of years, but we know it’s … Continue reading
