Since liquor was only available for medicinal purposes, young Thomas Bache-Gabrielsen cleverly replaced the three existing stars (former VS naming) on the cognac label with three crosses (in Norwegian: Tre Kors). This blend combines the vigor 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 a minimum of 2 years. deep amber color. 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.
