Baron de Lustrac 1953 Armagnac

Profoundly complex, this vintage Armagnac opens with aromas of dried fig, prune, and candied orange peel, layered with tobacco, leather, and old oak. The palate is deep and resonant, showing flavours of date, walnut, dark chocolate, and spice, carried on a silky, almost weightless texture. Its deep amber hue glows with copper highlights, a reflection of nearly seven decades in oak. The finish is endless, lingering with notes of dried fruit, coffee, and rancio — the signature of a spirit shaped by time.

Baron de Lustrac specialises in rare vintage Armagnac, sourcing and ageing single-year bottlings that showcase the depth and longevity of the Bas-Armagnac region. Distilled in 1953 and matured in traditional Gascon oak casks, this release represents both a piece of history and a celebration of Armagnac’s unique capacity for ageing. More than just a spirit, it is an expression of craftsmanship and patience — a remarkable snapshot of a single harvest, preserved across generations.
