The Story
Bareksten represents the essence of Norway, in both taste and character – dark, wild, breathtaking and dramatic. The gin is an absolute flavor-fest, with 26 botanicals, 19 of which are local. Bareksten is made in a single shot distillation. The citrus, rhubarb and a handful of flowers are suspended above the still in a vapor basket, where their flavors and oils are collected raw. The rest of the botanicals are added to the spirit for a full 24-hour maceration period. The 600-litre still is left to run slowly, taking nine hours to run in total. This allows for a smoother profile. Mouthfeel is key, achieved through the increased copper contact. The blueberries and other fruits play a part, too, allowing an almost gloopy texture to evolve on the tongue. Finally, the Norwegian potato base also helps with mouthfeel, providing a creamier sensation.
About Bareksten
Producer Story
Breathtaking and dramatic. In the mighty Norwegian forests where sunlight rarely penetrates. In lonely landscapes inhabited only by the ‘Hulder’ wood nymphs, which live below the ground surrounded by the roots of old oaks. This is where Bareksten takes its inspiration. Nordic, natural & organic ingredients form the basis for its unique flavour.
Norwegian herbs, potatoes and berries fight an intense, slow and never-ending battle in extreme environments. Only the strongest and most stubborn survive.
