Bivrost Norwegian Arctic Gin 50 cl 44%

Juniper and glacier water from 69 degrees north - Arctic Gin is Bivrost's interpretation of classic gin.

Expert's description

Bivrost Norsk Arctic Gin is the distillery's classic gin, made with local botanicals and glacier meltwater from the arctic mountains around Lyngen, bottled at 44%.

Bivrost is distilled at Aurora Spirit Distillery in Lyngen in 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 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 meltwater from the mountains are used in production.
