Bottled soon after the turn of the 21st century, this 1959 vintage was aged for 45 years in oak barrels. The fruitiness seems to get richer every year with these fine old armagnacs and there is excellent depth of flavour.

- Reduction & Strength:
- Most Montal armagnacs are sold at 40% abv so a level of reduction may be necessary depending on age.
