Product description
In 1095; two Norwegians, Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen and Peter Rustad purchased the partnership A. Edmond Dupuy and changed its name to Rustad & Bache-Gabrielsen.
Thomas soon married a local girl from a Cognac family and when Peter died suddenly in 1916 he became sole owner of the company. It remains in the family today, with Hervé Bache-Gabrielsen, Thomas’s great-grandson, as chairman. The Bache Gabrielsen XO presented here was created for Christmas 2016. It is a blend of eaux-de-vie distilled from 100% Ugni Blanc grapes in the Grande Champagne and Fins Bois growing districts and aged for at least 20 years. It is “a great accompaniment to rich dishes served at the Christmas table.”
Aroma : Christmas fruitcake, raisins, prunes, orange peel, walnuts, dark chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg and oak.
Palate : lots of dried fruit, raisins and sultanas, figs, apricots, orange peel, chocolate-coated nuts, vanilla, Christmas spices and oak.
Finish: long, with notes of chocolate, roasted nuts and almonds, dried fruit, Christmas spices and oak.
