Myken Distillery Arctic Winter Gin Norway 50 cl 47%

Where the Sommergin sticks strictly to the island's own plants, Vintergin blends local botanicals with spices sourced from distant lands, from the distillery that first put Myken on the gin map.

Expert's description

Myken Arktisk Vintergin is a Norwegian gin from Myken Destilleri, bottled at 47%.

The gin combines exotic botanicals such as citrus peel, coriander seed and grains of paradise with local ingredients like juniper, rose root and sea buckthorn from around Myken.

Vintergin is the distillery's original gin and was the one that first brought Myken Destilleri attention, before the Sommergin came along later.

The combination of exotic spice and Arctic locality makes Vintergin a more spiced, complex contrast to the milder Sommergin.
