Harahorn Norwegian Small Batch Dry Gin 1L

Harahorn Norwegian Small Batch Dry Gin captures the untamed character of Norway in a striking new 1000ml format, now available in New Zealand. Distilled in tiny 300-litre batches, this exceptional craft gin showcases hand-foraged Nordic botanicals including wild blueberries, rhubarb, seaweed, and marjoram. Bold yet beautifully refined, Harahorn balances vibrant freshness with earthy complexity, delivering a distinctive Scandinavian spirit inspired by Norway’s rugged mountains, forests, and coastline.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, fresh and pure with classic juniper, lifted citrus, and a subtle herbal edge. The palate opens bright and zesty, with fruit and spice notes interwoven with blueberries and rhubarb.
