Boisterous child of the Bache-Gabrielsen family, “AMERICAN OAK” is a unique cognac, distinct in taste, a line breaker !
Perfect example of the values of Maison Bache-Gabrielsen – tradition, passion et innovation -, American Oak is the first cognac to have been aged in American oak casks. Unique, it is the result of a double maturation with an ageing of several years in French oak casks ( the Limousin oak), combined with a minimum of six months in new American oak casks (the Alba oak).

AMERICAN OAK : invitation to a journey
The power of the American oak from Tennessee balances the elegance of the French oak from Limousin, and gives the product a very distinct personality. This cognac with delicate exotic fruits aromas, such as coconut and pineapple, offers a very “gourmand” and fruity result, also due to the vanilla and cocoa hints.
