Crafted in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region by Maison Samalens, established in 1882 in Laujuzan, this "Relique of Unknown Age" is a testament to traditional Gascon craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
Composed of a blend of old eaux-de-vie aged in local oak barrels, this mysterious Armagnac bears no specific vintage, but is believed to contain spirits matured for 15 to 20 years. Its enigmatic name hints at the depth of character forged only through time.
On the nose, it reveals woody and spicy notes, layered with vanilla, dried fruits, and soft tobacco. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, offering lingering flavors of prune, leather, and a refined rancio typical of long-aged Armagnac.
This “Relique” stands as an ode to the great spirits of southwestern France — authentic, complex, and rare, intended for discerning connoisseurs.
