Bivrost Arctic Gin (50cl, 44%)
Bivrost Arctic Gin is crafted at the foot of the Lyngen Alps in Arctic Norway, a spot where the Northern Lights have been known to visit once or twice! Locally harvested botanicals including arctic berries, juniper, roots and spices are distilled, and melted glacier water is blended with the spirit to bring it down to a bottling strength of 44% ABV. If there was ever a gin to simply drink over ice, this’ll be it!
Bivrost Gin is a clean, fresh, and balanced gin from Norway, praised for its combination of soft piney juniper, delicate arctic berries, and subtle citrus and peppery spice notes. Reviewers describe it as silky with an elegant flavor profile that is both complex and easy to drink, and note it pairs well with lighter tonics or spicier ones. It is also noted for its use of glacial meltwater and botanicals from the Arctic.
