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. Layers of seaweed and wild herbs add depth, while the finish is long, clean, and invigorating — a taste of Norway in every sip.
