Description

The story behind “Tre Kors” dates back to the Norwegian prohibition era of 1916-1926. Since liquor was only available for medicinalpurposes, young Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen cleverly replaced the three existing stars (former VS naming) on the cognac label with threecrosses (in norwegian: Tre Kors). This blend combines the vigour of its youngest “eaux-de-vie” with the first drops of a more mature Cognac.Tre Kors is blended from 25% Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne and 75% Fins Bois cognac. It is matured in casks for minimum 2 years. Deep amber colour. Lively, youthful bouquet marked by fruit and with something of the character of young Grande Champagne. Soft, rounded attack, but a relatively light, fruity finish.This is the story of prohibition and Norwegian ingenuity. During the period 1916A€“1926 the sale of liquor was prohibited. Liquor could still be obtained on prescription, however, and never before has a nation been so ill. Cognac was only available for “medicinal purposes”, and young Bache-Gabrielsen was quick to act. The three existing stars on the cognac label (VS) were replaced with three crosses. To this day, this cognac remains the most popular. A young and relatively unembellished VS, primarily based on Fins Bois.
