Intensely flavorful and complex, but very sweet- almost more of a cognac liqueur.

Dark amber colour. Lots of sweet dried fruits, fine rancio, honey and spices on the nose. The palate is quite sweet with dried fruits, honey and spices (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves) - the (for me) overdone sugar lessens the finesse and the tension of this cognac. The finish is long, but too sweet...

Pure amber with copper highlights. Honey, becoming creamy smooth and inviting (make it a cologne). Full bodied, rich, reaches every taste bud, rancio, long delicious evolving finish.

Bache Gabrielsen Hors d'Age has been a benchmark among Norwegian cognac enthusiasts for what a high quality cognac should taste like. Sometimes we have a glass of this cognac on the side during a tasting for comparison reasons. This is an old blend from Grande Champagne, quite sweet and with a nice...

This is a top 5 maybe top 3 Cognac I’ve ever experienced (and experience is the correct word). Unbelievable complexity, fruit forward, rancio, so much going on and yet balanced. It’s honestly hard to describe. There’s a reason most everyone raves about this bottle.

Nose: Oak, something creamy, spices, rancio, dark fruits with honey, some lighter orchard fruit notes Palate: Sweet, vanilla,dried apricots, some spices like cinnamon. Long finish I prefer cognacs with more pronounced fruit flavors but this is still a marvelous cognac that leans more towards the...

I have a review on this that I posted a couple of years ago. I liked it a lot back then, but actions speak louder than words - this is the first bottle of cognac that I have ever purchased again. Just received it and decided to enjoy with a friend and it did not disappoint. The display box is...

I am truly a cognac connoisseur and have tasted over 75 houses and 200 different blends. And I refer only to bottles with XO and more. This cognac is one of my top 25 cognacs and is the best value for money. You should definitely try this cognac for yourself.

Aromas become richer with time. Rancio aroma reminiscent of fine black tea. Plum. Some spices, including cinnamon. Apricot, slight vanilla, fine wood, slight floral notes. The characteristics of Grand Champagne are well expressed. The taste is predominantly spicy but mildly stimulating. Flavours...

Bache Gabrielsen Hors d'Age is a mix between the Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grapes. The oldest eaux-de-vie in the blend reaches back all the way to 1917, and the youngest to around 1960. A lovely blend of fruit and spice greets the nose, with more spice than normal in a Cognac. As it opens, that...
