Armagnac is a type of brandy produced in the Armagnac region of southwestern France. It is distilled from white wine using pot stills, and typically aged in oak barrels, which impart rich flavors and complexity. Known for its deep amber color and robust, earthy flavor, Armagnac can have notes of dried fruit, spices, and oak. It is often considered more rustic and full-bodied compared to Cognac, another well-known French brandy. Armagnac is enjoyed as a sipping spirit, often served neat or with a small amount of water.
