An Evening of Cognac with Braastad

Cognac Braastad are a family-run producer, combining French and

Norwegian heritage to bring a modern and innovative approach to

their craft.

The history of the Braastad family spans several centuries, but

the history of Braastad Cognac begins in 1875 when a young man from

Charente founded his own Cognac House, Maison Tiffon, on the banks

of the Charente river in Jarnac.

Five generations later, the company is still managed by the

grandsons of Sverre Braastad. They are proud to continue an

ancestral know-how, and is one of the few houses to still control

every step of the process, from vineyards to bottling, themselves.

The family thus defends three fundamental values that are its own:

authenticity, traceability and quality.

We will be joined by Alexis Gonzalez from Braastad, to talk us

through both their story and bottles, from classic Cognac styles to

modern bottlings, to showcase their blending of innovation with

traditional craft.
