Bareksten Spirits
Bareksten Spirits was launched in 2015 by former bartender and experienced forager Stig Bareksten, and their spirits are distilled at Oss Craft Distillery in Bergen, Norway. Their flagship gin, Bareksten Botanical Gin, is made with a potato base spirit and features 26 botanicals primarily sourced from the Norwegian forests which also inspire the bottle design. The Bareksten Spirits range has since grown to include their Navy Strength Gin, Old Tom Gin, Double Gin, Absinthe and Botanical Aquavit.

Meet the Makers

"Norwegian herbs, potatoes and berries fight an intense, slow and never-ending battle in extreme environments. Only the strongest and most stubborn survive. Norwegian ingredients, touched only by nature, form the basis for the raw flavours of our botanical spirits.” - Master Distiller, Stig Bareksten
