Armagnac is considered a traditional French drink, but historically it is closely related to three cultures. Vineyards in France were planted by the Romans, the Celts brought oak barrels, and the Arabs invented distillation.
The drink was first made in the French province of Gascony, and the first prototype of the modern drink began to be sold freely in 1461. Armagnac began to appear on the international market in the 16th century.
Armagnac and cognac belong to the class of grape brandy, but what distinguishes it from brandy and cognac is that many more grape varieties are used in its production. In order to make a real quality Armagnac, at least 10 varieties of grapes are needed, while for cognac and brandy only one variety is enough.
This amber liquid is an aristocratic drink, a symbol of luxury and good taste.
And strange as it may sound, Armagnac has beneficial properties for the body and even initially the drink was used as a medicine. It is believed that small doses of the drink prolong youth and maintain mental clarity. It is effective for toothache and helps to disinfect the mouth.
To fully enjoy the taste of this drink, before you start, you need to indulge in a relaxing break. Then pour Armagnac into a glass and leave it for 15 minutes.
Before taking a sip, it is necessary to inhale its aroma through the nose. This method allows to reveal the finest and most delicate taste of Armagnac. Experienced tasters in this way accurately determine its quality. Drink the drink slowly and keep it in your mouth for a long time.
Can be combined with champagne and orange juice. To soften the taste of the drink will help nice chocolate, as well as various desserts, and also goes well with cigars.
In cooking, Armagnac can be used to prepare a variety of dishes, to flavor biscuits and cakes, to flavor salads and is a great addition to meat. And what would a Parisian steak be without Armagnac?
