Namer and Thibault , long-time friends , often reunite and , as always , bond over their shared French epicurean passions , delving into discussions on gastronomy , wines , and spirits . Driven by the same passion and product excellence , they took on the challenge of creating together an exceptional new Armagnac blend . An opportunity for Thibault to use all his savoir- faire to tailor-make this spirit from the French region of Armagnac where the terroirs and traditions have for centuries expressed a style that is as unique as it is rare .
