More than eight decades of ageing make this rare spirit a piece of history in a glass.
- A complex brandy with layers of dried fig, prune and candied orange peel, together with cigar box, cocoa, roasted walnut, leather and sweet spice.
- Made using traditional Armagnac grapes including Ugni Blanc, Baco, Colombard and Folle Blanche, distilled in a continuous still and aged slowly in oak.
- From Bas-Armagnac, the most prized area of Gascony, known for producing spirits of finesse and aromatic intensity.
- Delord, founded in 1893, remains a family-run house, respected for its dedication to small-scale, artisanal distillation and long élevage.
- An exceptional collector's bottle and a perfect milestone gift, offering a contemplative alternative to vintage Cognac or old Madeira.

Situated in Bas-Armagnac, our vineyards are made up of Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties. The distillery is to be found in the village of Lannepax, the ancestral home of the Delord family. The distillation, the most essential and fascinating stage in the production of Armagnac, takes place at the beginning of November through to the end of December. Our old Sier Armagnac alambics, that we wouldn't part with for all the gold in the world, produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie an hour. Our cellars contain our old treasured vintages and include more than 700 oak barrels that protect and age the Armagnac eau-de-vie dating from the 20th Century to the present day.
