Norway being renowned for the best quality berries in the world; juniper, lingonberries, elderberries, and blueberries are selected for their depth of taste and aroma. The herbs found amongst the pine trees add the dense dark undertones of the forest floor while the local flora of chamomile, mint arnica and elderflower provide a fresh floral nose.

Stig Bareksten, a Norwegian distiller, began working in the liqour industry back in 1993. Having previously worked as a bartender (even attending bar school in London), Bareksten made the move into distillation in 2011 when he joined OSS Craft Distillery in Bergen, where he would eventually create Bareksten Gin. In 2015 he then co-founded Det Norske Brenneri.

Bareksten represents the essence of Norway, in both taste and character – dark, wild, breathtaking and dramatic. Clean flavours inspired by ancient craft traditions are the soul of Bareksten`s botanical wonders. Norwegian ingredients, touched only by nature, form the basis for the raw flavours of Bareksten’s botanical spirits. Norwegian herbs, potatoes and berries fight an intense, slow and never-ending battle in extreme environments, only the strongest and most stubborn survive forming Bareksten's unique flavours.

Bareksten is produced and distributed by Oss Craft Distillery.
