Montesquiou XO 50cl is a French Armagnac from Marquis De Montesquiou, bottled at 43%. It is a straightforward but appealing proposition: an XO-labelled Armagnac in a 50 cl bottle, well suited to anyone who wants to explore this French spirit category without immediately choosing a full-size bottle.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as the kind of bottle that deserves a calm, specialist introduction rather than a loud sales pitch. The Marquis De Montesquiou name, the XO designation and the smaller format give it a clear role within a selection of French spirits.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this Asta Morris release stands out for its maturity and limited availability. Bottled at 49.2%, it has a strength that suggests a spirit to be approached slowly rather than casually, with the long ageing period taking centre stage.
With only the last bottles remaining, availability is naturally limited. For anyone drawn to aged Armagnac with a defined distillation year, this is a bottle shaped by patience and time.

Asta Maurice 1975 45y Asta

Asta Maurice 1975 45y Asta is an Armagnac defined first and foremost by time. Distilled in 1975 and matured for 45 years in French oak, it belongs to that quiet category of spirits where the vintage and the length of ageing do much of the talking.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, a bottle like this stands out because its appeal is very specific: French Armagnac, a stated distillation year, long oak maturation and a release that is now down to its last bottles. Those elements together give it a sense of scarcity without needing to overstate the point.
Bottled at 47.9%, this Asta Morris release has a confident strength for a mature spirit. It is the kind of Armagnac to approach with time and attention, especially for those who appreciate older French eaux-de-vie with (…)Aurian 1985 Wu Dram Clan

At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this are valued for the story they carry: a specific year, a French Armagnac identity and a release that is no longer broadly available. Bottled at 44.6% alcohol, it sits at a strength that feels serious without being positioned as an extreme cask-strength statement.

Bas Armagnac 1979 (Cadenhead)
On request only
Cadenheads Bas Armagnac 1979 is the kind of bottle where the vintage does much of the talking. A 1979 Armagnac is not presented as an everyday pour; it carries a sense of time, origin and quiet rarity that naturally invites a more considered moment.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this sit in a more specialised corner of the selection. The essentials are already meaningful: Bas Armagnac, the 1979 vintage and a bottling strength of 43.3%. For someone looking for an older French Armagnac from Cadenheads, that combination is the point of interest.
These are also the last bottles, so availability is limited. That gives this release an extra sense of scarcity without needing to dress it up: it is a focused choice for drinkers looking specifically for a (…)Ch Laubade 17y Ww (Campbeltown Whisky Company)

Ch Laubade 17y Ww is a French Armagnac from Chateau De Laubade with a very focused identity. Rather than being presented as a broad blend, it comes from a single hogshead and was bottled after 17 years of maturation.
The strength tells an important part of the story. At 54.8%, this is a cask strength bottling, kept close to the way it left the cask. Only 294 bottles were filled, and with the final bottles now indicated, it has become a notably limited piece within the Armagnac selection at Drankenshop Broekmans.
For drinkers who appreciate spirits with a clear sense of origin, this bottle has a straightforward appeal: one cask, 17 years of ageing, cask strength, and a small outturn. Nothing needs to be overstated; the interest lies in the precision of the (…)Jean Cave 1974 Obr

At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this are valued for that kind of direct, specific character. The appeal here lies in the combination of French Armagnac, the Old Brothers name and the vintage reference carried by the label.

Ricci Armagnac Rounagle 1973 is an Armagnac with a strong sense of place and age. It comes from the renowned Tenareze region in France and is made from Ugni Blanc, giving the spirit a solid foundation for long maturation and developed depth.
The maturation in reused European oak casks is an important part of its identity. Rather than pushing fresh oak to the foreground, the cask influence supports the mature fruit, spice and gently seasoned wood notes that make older Armagnac so engaging. The result is a style with richness, but also restraint.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about cognac
What is cognac?
Cognac is a French brandy made from white grapes and may only come from the Cognac region in France. It is double-distilled and then aged in oak barrels.
What is armagnac?
Armagnac comes from the Armagnac region, also in south-western France. Armagnac production began in the 14th century, making it the oldest brandy in France.
Like Cognac, Armagnac is made from white grapes, but here different grape varieties are often used, such as Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco Blanc. The main difference is in the distillation process: Armagnac is distilled in a continuous distillation column, resulting in a richer and more complex eau-de-vie with a higher alcohol content. After distillation, Armagnac matures in oak barrels. Armagnac is thus distilled once unlike cognac which is distilled twice at a lower temperature and has a higher alcohol content.
Armagnac has a more robust and powerful flavour profile than Cognac, with pronounced notes of dried fruits, plums, vanilla, and leather. Due to the single distillation, it retains more of the original grape flavours.
What is calvados?
Calvados originates from the region of Normandy in northern France. It has a long history dating back to the 16th century, and it is often considered a symbol of Norman culture.
Calvados is made from apples (and sometimes pears), unlike grapes for Cognac and Armagnac. The apples are pressed to make cider, which is then distilled. Distillation can take place once or twice, depending on the appellation. As with the other two drinks, the eau-de-vie then matures in oak barrels.
Calvados has a fresh and fruity character, with distinct apple and sometimes pear-like notes. After ageing, more complex flavours can develop, such as butterscotch, spices and nuts.
What is brandy?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
What is sherry?
Sherry is a fortified wine from southern Spain, more specifically around the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the region of Andalusia. The special feature of sherry is that wine alcohol is added during or after fermentation, increasing the alcohol content (usually around 15-20%) and also making the wine last longer.
There are different styles of sherry, each with its own character. Fino, for example, is light, dry and fresh (often with hints of almond and bread dough), while Oloroso is just richer, darker and nutty due to oxidative ageing. Amontillado is a bit in between: fresh under flor at first, then more complex through oxidation. On the sweet side, you have, for example, Pedro Ximénez (PX), an intensely sweet, syrupy sherry with flavours of sultanas and caramel.
Sherry is often underrated, but it is enormously versatile: from a fresh aperitif to a perfect companion with tapas, cheeses or even desserts. So it is not an "old people's drink", but just one of the most diverse and gourmet wine styles around.
What is Pineau Des Charentes?
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine from the Charente region in southwestern France, the same area known for its cognac production. It is not a wine in the traditional sense, but a mistelle-adrink made by mixing fresh grape juice with cognac. This combination stops fermentation, preserving the natural sweetness of the grape juice and giving the drink its distinctive sweet, rich and aromatic profile.
Pineau des Charentes is available in both white and red varieties. White Pineau is made from white grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche, while the red variant derives its deep colour and fruity aromas from grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has a unique flavour that is not directly comparable to other drinks, but it does share characteristics with some well-known fortified wines:
- Port: Like port, Pineau is sweet and fortified, but Pineau tends to be lighter and fruitier.
- Sherry (Pedro Ximénez or Amontillado): White Pineau sometimes has the honeyed sweetness of PX sherry, but with a fresher touch.
- Madeira: Due to aging in oak, Pineau shares certain nutty and caramel-like notes with madeira.
- Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise: For those who like sweet dessert wines with floral and fruity aromas, Pineau is an excellent alternative.
What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
These are age indications for the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend. The older, the more complex and softer the flavour usually becomes.
-
VS (Very Special): aged for a minimum of 2 years
-
VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): aged for a minimum of 4 years
-
XO (Extra Old): aged for a minimum of 10 years (used to be 6 years)
These age designations are officially regulated by the appellation. This is not the case with rum, for example, in most cases.
What is the difference between cognac, brandy, armagnac and calvados?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
Cognac must come from the Cognac region and be made from specific grapes. Armagnac, in turn, comes from the Armagnac region in south-western France and is also made from grapes. Finally, Calvados comes from the Calvados region in Normandy and, unlike the other two, is made from apples and pears.
There are also differences in terms of distillation and maturation: Cognac uses double distillation in alambics, Armagnac a single continuous distillation, and Calvados can undergo both single and double distillation. Cognac and Calvados must be aged for a minimum of two years, while for Armagnac it is at least one year.
How do you drink cognac?
There are several ways to enjoy cognac. Traditionally, it is drunk at room temperature from a tulip-shaped glass such as a snifter. With an ice cube, the aromas become less heavy and even in cocktails, cognac is on the rise.
Does cognac get even better in the bottle?
No, like most spirits, cognac also matures solely in the barrel. Once the cognac is bottled, the ageing also stops. So an old bottle of cognac does not automatically improve with age.
How long can an opened bottle of cognac keep?
An opened bottle of cognac undergoes the same process as other spirits. Usually, you can keep an opened bottle for a very long time, up to several years. But cognac can also be subject to oxidation, a natural process that is started and intensified as soon as there is too much air/oxygen in the bottle in relation to the spirit. To avoid this, it is best to transfer the cognac into a smaller, airtight bottle or fill the bottle with marbles to reduce the proportion of air in the bottle. Never use glass decanters with glass stoppers, as these do not seal airtight and therefore do not prevent the oxidation process.
Which grapes are used for cognac?
The main grape variety is Ugni Blanc. This is by far the most commonly used grape variety for cognac, and produces a fresh, acidic wine that is ideal for distilling. In addition, cognac can also be made from the Folle Blanche and Colombard grape varieties.
Where can I buy cognac?
You can even buy cognac in supermarkets these days. But if you are looking for a good cognac, one that is tasty, qualitative and layered, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place to be. In our range, you will find more than 200 different cognacs in all possible price categories, from a basic "everyday cognac" to the most exclusive eau-de-vie.
