Armagnac Domaine Pouy 1998, 25 years, Club Members Edition No. 2
This 25-year-old spirit from Domaine Pouy was distilled from a blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes. Domaine Pouy, formerly managed by Mr. Maurice Coureau and his wife in the Condom area, ceased production in 2009. We were able to acquire this Armagnac thanks to the fantastic team at the trading house L’Encantada, whom we met during our Armagnac tour in September 2024. Thus, this Armagnac originates from a silent distillery, much like Caroni or Karuizawa.
It was the favorite spirit of the Tasting Committee, which included Amanda Garnham, Magdalena Reszke, Edward Bates, Dominik Rudnicki, Lubomir Borysek, Kim H. Pedersen, and Hendrik Frölich.

So what does it taste like?
Here are the notes of Edward Bates:
Nose: Very expressive, with bright fruit and spice and well-integrated wood aromas. Quite gentle and exceptionally well balanced, with an aroma that invites extended contemplation.
Palate: Nicely integrated, with an excellent transition from the nose. Very unctuous, offering a pleasant coconut sweetness that gives way to a big, chewy caramel and toffee finish.
Finish and Summary: Long, dry, and complex, with layers that unfold all the way to the end.
