Bivrost Norwegian Arctic Gin 50 cl 44%

Juniper and glacial water from 69 degrees north — Arctic Gin is Bivrost's take on classic gin.

Expert description

Bivrost Norsk Arctic Gin is the distillery's classic gin, made with local botanicals and glacial meltwater from the Arctic mountains around Lyngen, bottled at 44%. Bivrost is distilled at Aurora Spirit Distillery in Lyngen, northern Norway, 69 degrees north of the equator, making it one of the world's northernmost distilleries. Construction began in 2016, and the name Bivrost comes from Old Norse mythology, where it denotes the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth — a nod to the Northern Lights often seen above the distillery. Local botanicals and glacial meltwater are used in production.
