Armagnac is a very Aromatic brandy from the Gascony region in the far southwest of France. Armagnac was the first brandy in France and is said to date back over 700 years to the early 15th century.

On the surface, the two are very similar: they are both wine spirits from southwest France, produced in essentially the same way and from similar Grape varieties.
