Bache-Gabrielsen VS Tre Kors Cognac (70cl, 40%)

Tre Kors is composed from Ugni Blanc from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne crus and matures for at least two years in Limousin oak. This bottling contains 0.7 litres at 40% ABV and is delivered in gift packaging. Maison Bache-Gabrielsen was founded in 1905 in Cognac, when Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen and his Norwegian partner Peter Rustad took over the existing Cognac house A. Edmond Dupuy. The house works with winegrowers who distil their own eaux-de-vie, then selects, matures and blends them. Since 2015 it has had its own cellars in Louzac-Saint-Andre for storage, maturation and assemblage. The name Tre Kors means three crosses and recalls Norwegian prohibition from 1916 to 1926, when alcohol was available only through pharmacies and Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen replaced the traditional three stars on the bottles with three red crosses.
