Bareksten Gin

From the Norwegian fjords comes a gin where botanicals are chosen with the same care a perfumer selects their notes. Bareksten is proof that Norwegian gin can stand shoulder to shoulder with the British classics.

  • Bottle of Bareksten Norsk Double Gin from Norway
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280061

    From Norway comes this special gin from Oss Craft Distillery, created by Stig Bareksten, with an unusual distillation method.

    Expert's description

    Bareksten Norsk Double Gin is a Norwegian Gin, bottled at 43%.

    The gin stands out from the crowd, as the juniper is distilled on its own, while the remaining 8 botanicals are distilled separately.

    After distillation, the two distillates are blended together, hence the name Double Gin.

    This method gives the flavour a distinct imprint of juniper, combined with the full expression of the other botanicals.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is distinctly juniper, with a complex botanical layer.

    Palate

    The palate carries the imprint of juniper combined with the other botanicals.

    Finish

    The finish is long and well balanced.

About Bareksten Gin

Bareksten Botanical Gin is created by Stig Bareksten and produced at Oss Craft Distillery in Norway. For newcomers it's a well-balanced, aromatic gin with a distinct Nordic character; for connoisseurs it's interesting that Norway, a country without a long gin tradition, has managed to establish itself as a serious voice in the international craft gin scene, with this distillery leading the way.

History & Background

Stig Bareksten developed his gin based on Norwegian ingredients and a philosophy that Nordic terroir could be expressed as clearly in gin as in whisky or aquavit. Oss Craft Distillery was chosen as the production site, where gin became part of a broader Norwegian craft scene that has grown markedly in recent years. Bareksten is today one of the best-known Norwegian gin names internationally, a development that has helped put Norway on the global gin map.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled from juniper and Norwegian botanicals such as angelica and other local herbs.

Signature Style

Nordic, Herbal, Fresh
The flavor offers a fresh, Nordic character with a clear touch of Norwegian mountain herbs.
