Armagnac Castarede




VSOP 10 years NV

Aged twice the required duration for a traditional VSOP, this Armagnac has an amber topaz robe with bronze tints. Its nose is mellow with walnut, warm spices, cocoa and prune stone. The palate is similar to its nose with an extraordinary sense of freshness.

SPECIAL PRICE: $76
Usual Price: $84


Napolean XO 15 years NV

A blend of Armagnacs around 15 years old compared to the traditional 6 years, this Armagnac has a clear coppery colour. Its nose gives ripe prune aromas and dry fruits. Its mouth is very smooth with some rancio notes.

SPECIAL PRICE: $85
Usual Price: $94


Hors D’Age 20 years NV

Aged a minimum of 20 years, its robe is clear copper and it is full of character, intense and vibrant. Candied chestnut and dried currants mingle with luscious oaky notes of cigar box and sandalwood. The palate is perfectly balanced. A superb Armagnac to savour at Olde Cuban.

SPECIAL PRICE: $106
Usual Price: $117
