About this Item

Bas Armagnac 1982
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
This 1982 vintage was produced from a single cask and represents a now-rare example of vintage Bas Armagnac from a closed producer, bottled as part of the Rare Find range by Gleann Mor Spirits after 31 years of maturation, developing from raw distillate into a brandy of considerable complexity, breadth and quiet authority. The 1982 Armagnac vintage was a year of natural concentration and fine quality across Gascony, and at over four decades of age this expression carries the characteristic development notes of the finest aged Bas Armagnac: dried orange peel, rancio, beeswax, dark spice and the slow, deep complexity of very old spirit at peace with its oak.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
