The surroundings and home

Between Norway's mainland and Drammen lies Lier, the green lung of the country and also one of the most fertile regions in the area. This is one of the reasons why Lier is home to so many local farms. Here you can still find very traditional family businesses that work closely with nature and with great care with consideration for future generations.
The Kimerud farm is one of them and this is where the Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask comes from, which is particularly linked to the history of the company founded in 1785.

It is considered a homage, a toast to the master distiller's grandfather, Herold Havaldsen, who toiled as a miner in the Norwegian mountains during his lifetime and fought for freedom in the Navy during World War II. The distillery thus presents a product that it has placed very consciously for itself and that serves as one of its flagship products from the bottom of its heart.

The Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask and its creation

As it was discovered in 2007, the area surrounding the farm offers much more than just plantable soil. A wide variety of fruits, herbs and spices grow in the immediate vicinity, so the idea of using these and creating a product that reflects the landscape, country and people was not far off.

The Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask uses caraway, coriander, angelica, mint, ginger, orange and lemon peel, some of which are also used in the company's own gin production.

The aquavit cuts an impressive figure as an aperitif and as a digestif.

When tasting, it shows a scent of fine fresh caraway, strong oak from storage, as well as refreshing orange. The taste seduces with its complexity and the balance between clear oak notes and citrus fruits, paired with the typical caraway.
In the finish, you had a very full, characterful aquavit in the glass, which fades away with a long, soft aftertaste.

Harahorn Gin 0,5L 46%
Harahorn Gin 0.5L 46% Newcomer from Norway Again and again you have to realize that small, artisanal businesses become something really big and that it's not just the big market leaders that get all the attention. This is also the case with this new release from the small Norwegian Det Norske Brenneri. A harmonious gin from Scandinavia that is very special just because of its origin, as the Nordic countries are not exactly known for juniper schnapps. The Harahorn Gin comes from a distillery called Puntervold/Agder Brenneri that was founded in 2005 and renamed Det Norske Brenneri in 2011. After the first single malt whiskey was created in 2012, the handcrafted Harahorn Gin followed in autumn 2015. As co-founder Odd Johan Nelvik says, it took them a year to find the perfect combination of juniper and blueberry. This harmony is what makes this gin such a distinctively Nordic gin. In addition to juniper and blueberries, lemon and orange peel, nectarine and rhubarb are also used. The use of rhubarb also has a long history: The distillery is located in Grimstad on the southeast coast of Norway. Rhubarb wine used to be made there. The producers thought it would be great to somehow hold on to this tradition, so they added rhubarb. The herbs and berries used in the gin all come from the Norwegian wilderness. The harsh climatic conditions give them a taste that is only found in a few places in the world. The distillery also works with botanist Rolv Hjelmstad from Urtekilden in Oppdal. When producing Harahorn Gin, only small batches of around 300 L are produced per distillation process in order to maintain absolute control over the excellent quality of this gin. The taste The main aromas are clearly evident on the nose: juniper and citrus. On the palate, Harahorn Gin is also characterized by fresh nuances of creeping juniper, fruit and spices. Light notes of blueberries can be tasted, which makes everything a little fresher and sweeter. A very refreshing, long-lasting finish!

Harahorn Gin Miniatur 0,05L 46%
Harahorn Gin Miniature 0.05L 46% History Harahorn Gin is named after a Norwegian mountain in Hemsedal, where the wonderful juniper berries are harvested, and after a Norwegian legendary figure that no one has seen to this day. Known in North America as a 'jackalope', and called 'Harahorn' in Norway, it refers to a horned hare. After a production monopoly for alcohol existed in the Nordic countries, which was lifted for Norway in 2005, the former Puntervold / Agder Brenneri (now Det Norske Brenneri) was able to operate its production and barrel storage facilities in Grimstad in the south of Norway. They mainly produced apple wine and the caraway schnapps that is popular in the Scandinavian countries. They were the first private distillery after 80 years of state monopoly. Harahorn Gin The long summer days and the dark, cold winter nights create the perfect climatic conditions for the berries and herbs used in Harahorn Gin. Alcohol from potatoes forms the basis here. In addition, only selected, regional botanicals are used, with which the producers have experimented for a long time. In addition to the juniper from Røros, these include blueberries from Nordmarka on the outskirts of Oslo and seaweed from the city. This gin is produced in relatively small equipment with a capacity of 300 liters and is therefore a very special gin with each distillation process. Harahorn Gin can now be found not only in delicatessens and specialty stores. It can also be found above the clouds. SAS Flights has added the Scandinavian gin to its range. The guests on board should be offered a unique experience and so the Harahorn Gin joins the diverse selection of artisanal drinks on board. Tasting Don't be fooled by the typically clear appearance of this gin: clear aroma of juniper and citrus fruits on the nose. A surprisingly deep taste. In addition to the unmistakable juniper berries, spicy notes round off the overall picture of the gin and convince in the finish with the lasting freshness of the citrus fruits.

Kimerud Hillside Aged Gin 0,7L 42%
Kimerud Hillside Aged Gin 0.7L 42% Kimerud Gin Kimerud products are characterized by the climatic and geographical peculiarities of the Norwegian landscape. Kimerud can be translated as 'hillside' and comes from a small, rural distillery in the hills near Lier. What once began as a hobby for Ståle Håvaldsen Johnsen has now developed into his own company. After he and his family bought the Kimerud farm and built a distillery there, everything took its course. The isolation and the clean, smog-free air are a major advantage for the production of Kimerud Gin, because a lot of value is placed on the ingredients here. At the Kimerud farm, almost all plant components are grown organically in order to ensure consistently good quality from seed to harvest to the finished product. In addition, the cold climate allows the herbs and berries to grow particularly slowly, so that they have to use up all their energy, thus contributing to the plants' very intense flavor. Master distiller Ståle Håvaldsen and his team use 22 different botanicals, only a few of which are known. Some of these are coriander, quince, rosemary, walnut, mint, ginger and citrus fruits. Plants are also used that were already considered food and medicinal remedies in the Viking Age. The potato alcohol base is distilled five times in an Arnold Holstein still and is then diluted with pure mountain water to the desired drinking strength. Tasting The first thing that catches the eye is the golden yellow color. The base is Kimerud Gin, which gets its unusual color from a six-month maturation phase in old sherry and French oak barrels that previously contained HÅVALDSEN Aquavit. This naturally also affects the taste of the gin, which reflects the aromas of the aquavit and the sweetness of the sherry. Storage in the sherry barrels also brings notes of vanilla. This gin is proof that Norwegian or, in general, Scandinavian distilleries should not be underestimated!

Arvesolvet Aquavit 1,0L 40%
Arvesolvet Aquavit 1.0L 40% What is Aquavit? Basically, an aquavit is a 'pharmaceutical' term for brandy/spirit. In Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway, aquavit was already mentioned in records in the early 16th century and is more or less THE national drink there. However, there are small differences in the production process between countries: for example, in Sweden, aquavit is made from grain, whereas in Norway and Denmark, potatoes or grain are used as the basic ingredient. There are also subdivisions within the countries into light and dark aquavit. Light aquavit is more typical for Denmark and only matures for 3-6 months in oak barrels. The dark aquavit mostly comes from Norway, where it is often stored in different barrels for several years, which is then reflected in the color and in a stronger taste. Arvesolvet Aquavit This super-premium aquavit comes from Norway, from the Det Norske distillery. After distillation, this aquavit was allowed to mature in fresh Oloroso sherry barrels. Despite the clear caraway flavor, this is not too overwhelming and one does not perceive it as too intense, probably because the maturation in the Oloroso sherry barrel also means that fine, sweet oak aromas are clearly recognizable and soften the caraway flavor somewhat.

Nagu Akvavit 0,7L 38%
Nagu Akvavit 0.7L 38% Nagu Distillery The Nagu distillery can be found in the old 'Flipper Boat Factory' in the very southwest of Finland. The distillery was reopened here in 1996 by two childhood friends. They initially started with their own gin, the 'Small Batch Dry Gin', and in the summer of 2020 other products followed: 'Oak Aged Gin' and the 'Akvavit', followed by the Midsummer Gin in 2021. In Finland, aquavit is often served at crayfish festivals, which can also be seen on the bottle label. Its typical dill and caraway flavors complement the salty, savory taste of the crayfish perfectly.
