This a blend of three vintages. Sigognac is a rather old brand, part of the Bordeneuve group. Curious to see what some Scots would have done with an easy little armagnac such as a 10 yo à 40% vol… Colour: gold. Nose: it's light indeed, a little grassy, with some straw, hay, fruit peel, nicely grapy and stalky, without much oak influence. Touches of fresh mint. Rather the type of armagnac that they quaff as a long drink in the southwest of France. This translates, over there, to adding a small ice cube in a very large glass of said liquid. Mouth: fresh, easy, lively, with good liquorice, touches of aniseed, a curious pinch of salt and more grape skins, pips and stalk, as in a marc. Finish: medium, on rather grassy notes. Comments: so, where's that ice cube? One must say that we are really no longer accustomed to these very light alcohol levels, but it's pretty, pretty good for sure.
