Armagnac
Armagnac is the oldest type of brandy of France, produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony. It is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes, traditionally using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of Cognac. Unlike Cognac, which is double distilled, Armagnac is distilled once. The region was granted AOC status in 1936 and devided into 3 districts; Bas-Armagnac, Armagnac-Ténarèze and Haut-Armagnac.
