Since 1882, the house of Samalsens distills, blends and matures eaux-de-vie, in Bas-Armagnac. Ancient know-how is put at the service of innovation to break the known and create new taste experiences. The potential of Armagnac is thus revealed and sublimated, while preserving the characteristics that define its identity: aromatic strength, richness and aging potential.
