Vintage Armagnac, 1952 Spirits, Hangover Science
A discussion about high-end spirits focuses on a 1952 vintage Armagnac consumed at a recent party. The hosts explain that pure distillation in French products often results in fewer hangovers because they lack "fusel oils"—impurities like butyl and propyl alcohol found in lower-quality spirits. The conversation covers the social and physical effects of aged brandy compared to other alcohols like scotch.
