Baron de Sigognac’s 10 Year Old comes from Bas Armagnac, where sandy soils and long aging favor character over flash. Time in oak has softened the edges without sanding away the personality. What you get is something warm, expressive, and quietly captivating. The nose leans into baked apple, prune, caramel, and toasted nut, with a hint of vanilla and gentle spice. On the palate, it is rounded and generous, the texture velvety and reassuring, with layers that unfold slowly rather than rush. There is a rustic ease here, a sense that this spirit is more interested in storytelling than perfection. This is a glass for late evenings and low light. Pour it neat, let it breathe, and take your time. It pairs beautifully with good conversation, a bit of chocolate, or nothing at all. Honest, comforting, and deeply rooted in place, it reminds you why Armagnac has always been the insider’s choice.
