On our third day in Armagnac, David and I met a small producer named Blondeau who seemed to have a never-ending supply of amazing booze. His Domaine de Lassaubatju brandies were just what we were looking for - amazingly distinct Armagnac with plenty of cross-over appeal! While the spirits are still firmly grounded in the classic fruit and almond flavor profile, there's a distinct aroma of pencil shavings that comes from his custom-coopered barrels made with wood from a nearby forest. The result is the closest thing we'll see to a Bourbon lover's Armagnac. Made from a blend of Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc, and Baco, the 1988 shows dried apricot aromas with rich vanilla, a round mouthfeel, and an absolutely delicious nutty finish. The balance is impeccible. Imported directly for K&L, Lassaubatju represents what is now one of our best values for any type of spirit. I don't know where else you could find a 20+ year old, full proof spirit with this type of provenance that tastes this good. (David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer)
