For the future sale of the investment, the following two options are in focus:

<ul>
	<li>
	Private Sale: The casks are sold privately to an Armagnac enthusiast or an independent bottler. This option involves minimal effort.
	</li>
	<li>
	Bottling and Selling of Bottles: The casks are bottled and then sold as a whole to a wholesaler.
	</li>
</ul>

Why Invest in Armagnac?

<ul>
	<li>
	Mechanism: Like whisky, Armagnac matures in the cask, developing richer flavors and increasing in value over time. However, unlike whisky, the price of aged Armagnac remains more accessible, offering excellent upside potential as whisky becomes increasingly expensive. With similar aging potential to whisky, Armagnac is an attractive substitute, presenting a unique investment opportunity.
	</li>
	<li>
	Nobility: Armagnac is a noble spirit with a rich history spanning seven centuries. In an era of overconsumption, it offers a meaningful and sensory-rich experience. Rare Armagnacs, particularly those preserved in casks from the early 20th century, are true treasures, often enjoyed in their purest form, straight from the cask, much like the finest whiskies.
	</li>
	<li>
	Quality Control &amp; Traceability: Armagnac production is strictly regulated, with its terroirs and methods adhering to the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) standards established in 1936. This rigorous quality control, coupled with the limited production area, results in a very restricted supply, enhancing its value.
	</li>
	<li>
	Limited Supply vs. Growing Demand: Armagnac's limited production area, diminishing reserves of high-quality casks, and booming demand for premium spirits make it an excellent investment. Despite its comparable quality to whisky and rum, Armagnac remains surprisingly affordable, presenting a unique opportunity as its global recognition and demand grow.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Why Invest in These Casks?

<ul>
	<li>
	Limited Availability: Vintages like 1984 and those from the 1970s are increasingly rare due to historical factors like vineyard frosts and the natural depletion of casks. For example, only about 800,000 liters of Armagnac from 1969-1978 remain, compared to the millions of liters produced annually by even small whisky distilleries. This scarcity, coupled with the cessation of operations at producers like Domaine de Tourné and Domaine de Sancin, makes these casks highly collectible and valuable.
	</li>
	<li>
	High Tasting Notes: Both the 1974 and 1984 Armagnacs have received high tasting scores. Continued aging in the cask will further enhance their complexity and uniqueness, increasing their appeal to collectors and connoisseurs.
	</li>
	<li>
	Increasing Value: Quality Armagnacs typically appreciate over time, driven by the enhanced flavors developed during cask aging. Given current market trends and the growing demand for high-quality, artisanal spirits, the value of these Armagnacs is expected to rise in the coming years.
	</li>

The lower range of the annualized return for similarly aged casks over the past 10 years, based on market research by the B.N.I.A., is 13%, with the upper range at 15%.

Return

Analogous to whisky casks, Armagnac casks are incredibly stable in price development. This is because it is a spirit that is regularly consumed, resulting in a constant demand.

Stability

The Armagnac market, as a substitute for whisky, is growing rapidly. These two casks come from distilleries that have already closed, and the Armagnac is already 40 and 50 years old, respectively.

As a leading independent bottler of high-quality spirits, Distilia has carved a prominent place for itself in the industry. The company was established by couple of aficionados of rare spirits: Jakub Bagiński and Piotr Kossowski – who were engaged in creation, launching and selling such astonishing editions of whisky like: Karuizawa 1964 48 YO, Karuizawa 1964 51YO, Glenfarclas 1953 58 YO, Glen Grant 1949 67 YO or Clynelish 41 YO. These two friends were also involved in putting on the market two extremely old cognacs: Le Sein de Dieu and L’Esprit de Tiffon, spirits dating back to turn of 18th century. 
 
Through the few last year’s our team of experts was involved in many extraordinary projects on the market of alcoholic beverages.
