Product Information

Fennel, mint and aniseed give a menthol quality, whilst the elderflower, blueberry and lingonberry help to give a fruited sense of softer perfume. These cookies allow us to create statistical analyses to determine which articles are the most popular.

The botanicals are sourced mainly from the Norwegian terrain, and each one is carefully selected to ensure the best quality. Bareksten Botanical Gin Made with 26 botanicals in a single distillation, Bareksten represents the essence of Norway, in both taste and character – dark, wild, breathtaking and dramatic. Now, Stig is chief distiller and general manager for Oss Craft Distillery, Bergen, where he produces the Bareksten range.Award-winning contents: Instead of disappointing supermarket products, our gift hampers are filled with only the best artisan food and drink, including many Great Taste Award winners. Whilst the flavour profile may be similar to the other offerings, this seems to be the perfect celebration of them. Distilled with 26 botanicals sourced from the local forests and meadows surrounding the distillery, this gin offers a unique taste experience that is both complex and smooth. Herbs, potatoes and berries from Norway fight and intense, slow and never ending battle with the extreme conditions they are within.

We were advised when the gift left the despatch centre, and it arrived right on time on the due date. If the gin spilt and got into the gunpowder, then the higher proof would ensure that the gunpowder still exploded. I actively encourage you to try these wonderful drinks for yourself to see if you agree or disagree with my views. I spent a few minutes trying to identify a familiar character note, until the unmistakable profile of caraway hit home. There’s a slight salinity to the vapours, with lemon and orange peels shining brightly to give a citrus blast to the upfront florals of the nose.

For a Martini fit for a hardened sailor, try mixing 7 cl Bareksten Navy Strength Gin (frozen) with a few drops of dry vermouth directly into a frozen martini glass with added zest of a lemon and/or a green olive. Norwegian ingredients, touched only by nature, form the basis for the raw flavours of Bareksten’s botanical spirits. At the time of writing, we have never met Stig - but just following his quest around the world, as well as his extremely sympathetic approach to the principles he puts to use, when creating his Gins, makes us love this guy.
