It is accepted that a brandy glass is used for Armagnac, but this is not entirely true, because there is also a special glass exclusively for Armagnac. The typical volume of a glass is from 150 to 250 ml.
The glass for Armagnac has a tulip shape, so that all the aroma is concentrated in its upper part. Outwardly, it differs from a cognac glass and has a number of advantages when it comes to the correct use of a French drink. The glass itself is conveniently held by the base, and before drinking, the drink can be warmed up with the palm of your hand, as is done when drinking cognac.
The narrow edges of the glass are made so that the drink gradually falls on the tongue, and not all at once. According to experts, the aroma is the main component of the pleasure of drinking Armagnac. Therefore, this drink is best consumed from a glass under Armagnac, which allows you to fully reveal its taste and versatility.
