Laballe's 1998 Bas Armagnac, released in 2025 after nearly three decades in oak, opens with praline and spearmint notes layered over dark chocolate and dried fruit. The prolonged barrel aging has softened the spirit's edges while deepening its complexity, creating a rich, almost confectionery character balanced by subtle spice and oak warmth. At 47.1% ABV, the spirit carries weight and presence without harshness, with a finish that extends the praline and chocolate notes into warming vanilla and dried stone fruit. A mature, contemplative Armagnac for sipping without distraction.
