Our strategy for travel retail moving forward is to work with our retail partners to create tasting-based activations wherever possible \u2013 for us to taste Chabot Armagnac is to experience the most beautiful of brandies.\u201d<\/p>\n About the Armagnacs<\/strong> The X.O. Superior shimmers in a crystal cut glass bottle that is itself a work of art. The brandy is a unique blend of mature Armagnac aged up to 35 years. With a satin golden amber colour and a nose of almond and plum, this Armagnac is full in the mouth with a powerful finish and spicy, long lasting aromas. X.O. is the statement piece in any fine spirit collection.<\/p>\n Chabot <\/strong>established its name in the wines and spirits trade in 1828. Based in the rolling hills of Gascony in the village of La Bastide d’Armagnac, the family produced the wine necessary to the distillation of Armagnac. For over a century, the finely crafted Armagnac remained a well-kept secret, shared among close friends, Gascon locals and the French nobility. That was until 1963, and Chabot’s first foray into bringing Armagnac from France to the rest of the world. The big international development of Chabot took place under the leadership of the late John Gentzbourger. The brandy became prized for its superlative quality and distinctive taste. Today, Chabot Armagnac has circumnavigated the globe and can be found in 96 countries. It is now the best selling Armagnac brand in the world and in global travel retail. And yet tradition remains a strict priority. Every drop of Chabot Armagnac today is still imbued with the brand\u2019s intrinsic heritage and rich quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is no better way to introduce the travelling consumer to the world of Armagnac than through taste \u2013 and that is exactly what Chabot […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":36653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,477],"tags":[6923,6924,6922,39,1659],"class_list":["post-36652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-latest-promotions-in-duty-free","tag-armagnac","tag-buyparisdutyfree","tag-chabot","tag-dutyfree","tag-paris-cdg"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nNapol\u00e9on Special Reserve is a blend of France\u2019s most esteemed Armagnac, some aged up to 20 years. A dark frosted bottle hints at the mahogany and amber hue of the liquid within. The Napol\u00e9on retains a balanced and lengthy finish on the palate, with a nose of plums and oak. A well deserved indulgence after a day of conquering. Napol\u00e9on Special Reserve is number one in Asia.<\/p>\n
