A type of brandy produced in the Armagnac region of southwestern France, known for being distilled once and aged in oak barrels.
From Armagnac, a historical region in Gascony, France. The name comes from the Latin 'Armaniacum,' referring to the territory. The brandy production tradition dates back to the 15th century.
Armagnac is often considered more rustic and flavorful than its famous cousin Cognac, and Napoleon Bonaparte was such a fan that he allegedly requested Armagnac on his deathbed—the drink of choice for a conquering emperor!
