About Armagnac
Armagnac is a traditional French brandy originating from the Gascony region in southwestern France. This spirit is made from distilled white wine and aged in oak barrels, giving it a unique flavor profile with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and spices. Unlike Cognac, Armagnac is typically distilled only once, resulting in a richer and more complex character. Nutritionally, like most distilled spirits, Armagnac provides calories primarily from alcohol (approximately 220 calories per 100 ml) and contains no protein, fats, carbohydrates, or essential vitamins and minerals.
Health Benefits
- May provide cardiovascular benefits when consumed in moderation due to its alcohol content, which has been associated with increased HDL ('good') cholesterol levels.
- Contains small amounts of phenolic compounds retained during distillation, which may provide antioxidant effects.
- Alcoholic beverages like Armagnac can promote stress relief and relaxation when consumed responsibly.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Armagnac upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it can last for years if tightly sealed, though flavors may subtly change over time.
Common Questions About Armagnac Nutrition

Can I drink Armagnac on a keto diet?
Yes, Armagnac is keto-friendly as it contains 0 grams of carbs and sugar. However, moderation is key since alcohol can slow down ketosis and its high calorie content might impact daily intake.
Are there any health benefits to drinking Armagnac?
When consumed in moderation, Armagnac, like other distilled spirits, may improve relaxation and promote cardiovascular health due to its alcohol content. However, overconsumption can lead to health risks, such as liver damage and increased calorie intake.
How much Armagnac is recommended to drink?
A standard serving size of Armagnac is about 1.5 ounces (approximately 45ml), which contains around 100 calories. For health reasons, it is recommended to limit consumption to one serving per day for women and up to two servings per day for men.
How does Armagnac compare to Cognac?
Both Armagnac and Cognac are brandies, but Armagnac is typically more robust and complex in flavor due to being distilled once (vs. Cognac’s double distillation) and aged longer. Nutritionally, both are similar in calorie content and lack carbs, protein, and fat.
