Grönstedts XO Grimeton | Launch and tastings
December 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the Grimeton Radio Station, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was commissioned to shorten the distance between continents and people. A historic moment that paved the way for modern wireless communications. To celebrate this anniversary, Grönstedts has produced a special edition just for Grimeton – an exclusive, limited cognac in only 1000 bottles, as the brand has an interesting connection to the early history of the radio station and that the landowners in Hunnestad and Grimeton offered this during the negotiations.
Grönstedts Cognac XO Grimeton Radiostation is sold by Grönstedts, via Galatea, through Systembolaget or to restaurants via Martin & Servera. Grönstedts x Grimeton Radiostation is launched in a limited edition of 1000 bottles. It will be launched in Systembolaget’s order range on November 25 with article number 84324-02 and costs 849 SEK. We at Världsarvet Grimeton are very happy that the ancient beverage brand has chosen to highlight this piece of communication history with its own brandy.
