Distillery/Bottler: The Maison Bache-Gabrielsen was founded in 1905 and specializes in the production of Cognac. For whisky production, a process is used that involves double maturation in oak barrels that previously contained Cognac, and a finish in new chestnut wood barrels. These methods ensure a complex intertwining of flavors. Bache-Gabrielsen focuses on the combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing processes.
