L’Encantada – Cask-Strength Armagnac with Character and Clarity L’Encantada represents a new wave of Armagnac—one that honors the past while inviting modern connoisseurs to taste the spirit in its most authentic form. Founded in 2011 by a trio of passionate sommeliers, L’Encantada sources rare single casks from small family domaines across the Bas Armagnac region, bottling them at cask strength with no additives, no filtration, and no compromise. The result is Armagnac that speaks directly from barrel to glass—complex, rustic, and deeply expressive. Unlike many houses that blend across vintages or estates, L’Encantada embraces individuality. Each bottling bears the name of its original domaine, the grape varietals used (typically Baco, Ugni Blanc, or Folle Blanche), and the precise cask it was drawn from. It’s a level of transparency more often associated with fine Scotch or bourbon, but in the context of France’s oldest spirit. What to Expect in the Glass L’Encantada Armagnacs are bold and full-bodied, often aged for decades in Gascon oak casks. They offer a visceral tasting experience—spicy, textural, and layered with dried fruit, leather, nutmeg, and rancio. Tasting notes vary widely by cask, but common traits include: Nose: Prune, sandalwood, fig, pipe tobacco, and warm baking spices Palate: Deep, warming, and mouth-coating with notes of orange peel, cocoa, and toasted oak Finish: Long and powerful, with natural sweetness and elegant tannins These are sipping spirits made to be savored slowly—best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up their full complexity.
