Get Inspired

A closer look at the people, the place, and the passion behind our spirits. From distilling days to local adventures — this is where the story of Geiranger Brenneri continues to unfold.

A DISTILLERS DIARY

It’s been quiet from us lately—and for good reason.

Introducing our newest release: A Postcard from Geiranger - The Distiller’s Choice Premium Aquavit ✉️

Aged for 24 months in sherry and French oak casks, this is a rich and layered aquavit with warm notes of caraway, anise, cardamom, cubeb pepper, vanilla, meadowsweet, and citrus.

Crafted slowly and bottled with care, it’s our take on a postcard—sent not with stamps, but with flavour.

Now available at Vinmonopolet (Norway)!

When developing new products, we’re always exploring flavours from the nature around us 🌿

This summer, we’ve been out picking spruce shoots, along with a whole mix of flowers and herbs from the mountains here in Geiranger. One of our favourite ways to get to know an ingredient is by making a single-shot distillate—a small batch that lets us understand exactly how a plant behaves in the still. It’s the perfect tool when we’re testing new recipes in the lab.

Fun fact: Spruce shoots are surprisingly sweet and citrusy—you can even make syrup from them!

We can’t wait to play with this flavour in future products. Maybe a gin? Or an aquavit? Stay tuned 🌲

Let’s talk Gin—but not the one gathering dust on a shelf. 🌿

Geirr Angr Botanical Gin is where it all began. Distilled with over 30 herbs and botanicals, it captures the wild contrasts of Geiranger—from the mountaintops to the depths of the fjord. Fresh, bold, and beautifully balanced, this gin is made to mix and built to stand out.

Here are three ways you can enjoy it right now:

Nordic Negroni
2 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Gin
2 cl crowberry liqueur
2 cl Cynar
→ A fruitier, Nordic twist on a classic

Corpse Reviver
1.5 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Gin
1.5 cl Cointreau
1.5 cl Lillet Blanc
1.5 cl lemon juice
A spray of absinthe
→ Bright, herbal, and a proper wake-up call

Gin & Tonic
4 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Gin
10 cl Indian tonic
Ice + orange peel
→ Crisp, clean, and always a win

Tried something new with our gin? Tag us or send a DM—we’d love to see your take. 🍸

Three bottles that mean the world to us 💛

Each one tells a part of our story—handcrafted here in with care, curiosity, and a lot of tasting along the way:

🍋 Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit – a fresh take on a classic, with dill, elderflower and lemon peel.
🌿 Geirr Angr Botanical Gin – the one that started it all. Packed with over 30 herbs and botanicals.
🍓 Geirr Angr Pink Gin – playful, floral and bright. Our newest addition.

From herbs to bottles – here’s a little behind-the-scenes of what production looks like at our small distillery 💪🍸

Every bottle of Geirr Angr is the result of teamwork, detail, and a whole lot of manual work. This week, even Grandpa rolled up his sleeves to help us get it all done.

It’s not fast, but it’s real. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Let’s talk Aquavit—but not the one your uncle drinks at Christmas.

Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit is our take on a brighter, fresher spirit. It’s clear, summery, and packed with herbs and botanicals like elderflower, dill, and lemon. Think sunshine in a glass—crisp, aromatic, and made to mix.

Here are three ways to enjoy it:

Aquavit Spritz
• 4 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit
• 2cl elderflower liqueur
• Prosecco
• Soda water
• Ice

Nordic Mule
• 4 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit
• 2 cl lime juice
• Ginger beer

Ferrytale
• 2 cl Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit
• 2 cl Yellow Chartreuse
• 1 cl Aperol
• 2 cl lime juice

Fresh, floral, and a little rebellious—just like Geiranger itself.

Our very first bottle. The one that started it all. 🍃🍸

Geirr Angr Botanical Gin is a complex spirit, made with over 30 carefully selected herbs and botanicals. Fresh, bold and balanced – just like the landscape that inspired it.

From fjord to glass – this is our beginning.

In the meantime, here’s a little teaser from the woods of Geiranger, where it all started. 🌲

Release day is almost here!🌸
In the photo you’ll see our labeler at work, dressing each bottle of Geirr Angr Pink Gin. We still inspect every single one by hand before it heads out the door. Quality first, see you on the shelves soon.

Every bottle of Geirr Angr Pink Gin begins right here in the distillery. Last week we ran the very first batch—four bottles at a time, placed into the filler by hand, then lifted out to be corked and labelled one-by-one. No conveyor belts, no shortcuts. Small-batch, fully manual. Find it at Vinmonopolet from 6 May.

Meet Aleksander! You may have seen him mixing cocktails 🍸 behind the bar, managing a hotel, rocking out on stage 🎸, or catching your eye around the distillery. A true jack of all trades, he’s our master blender, armed with a spirits sommelier diploma (class of 2022) 🥂 and over a decade of bartending experience. As one of our tour guides, Aleksander loves nerding out about distilling—just ask him anything! And if he’s alone at the distillery, you can bet he’s blasting AC/DC or Led Zeppelin 🤘 to keep the vibe going. Rock on!

Today we kicked off the 2025 season with our very first distillery tour – a lovely little group of six who happened to be visiting Geiranger and decided to step inside for a deeper taste of the fjord.

Over the course of an hour and a half, we wandered through the distillery, shared stories, answered all the curious questions, and of course – tasted a few of our spirits straight from the source. 💧

There’s something grounding about starting the season with a small group like this. Unhurried. Personal. A reminder of why we love doing this.
Geiranger is slowly waking up again – and so are we. ✨

Skål for that. 🥂

You’ve asked for it, and we listened—introducing Geirr Angr Pink Gin! Available at Vinmonopolet from May 6th, this vibrant gin is crafted with local raspberries and strawberries from Valldal and rhubarb from our own garden. A fresh, fruity favorite just in time for summer! ☀️🍓💖

Late Friday night in the distillery with the smell of raspberries and strawberries 🍓 We can’t wait to share our next product with you!

🚨 NEW PROJECT ALERT!🚨

We are excited to share that we are distilling our very first whisky! It has long been a dream of ours to collaborate with the highly renowned Geiranger Bryggeri to make a truly local whisky. The last few weeks we have worked with Frank at the brewery, where he has made the whisky wash.

Only yesterday the beer was transported to our facilities, ready to be distilled. To make whisky, we need to distill it several times to achieve the alcohol percent we want, before aging it on barrels for at least 3-4 years. Today we started on the first of many distillations of our newest product.

Unfortunately, we have to be a bit patient - but we promise it will be worth the wait.

Cheers to new traditions! 🎉 Looking back at our first aquavit event in the distillery!

It’s all about getting creative. It is a bit smoother to fill the barrel then to empty it - but it is nothing we cannot fix 💪🏼 Can you guess what we are making?

Our fresh and newly made distillate going into the oak barrels 🍂

Today we are distilling caraway seeds for an upcoming aquavit! But before bottling it needs several months on oak barrels to mature and develop flavours.

We are always interested in what others make with ours products. Share with us how you prefer to enjoy aquavit or gin. Write a comment down below or tag us in a story or instagram post 🍸

GEIRR ANGR BOTANICAL AQUAVIT

Geirr Angr Botanical Aquavit is a product developed as a “summer aquavit”.

Unlike the more traditional ones on the market, this product has minimal barrell-aging and promotes dill instead of caraway as the most dominant herb. Besides dill - fennel, elderflower & citrus makes this aquavit the perfect companion with seafood, white fish and makes a delicious spritz-cocktail

We are ready to make our first distillates with our new still from @kovodel_janca.

We are currently experimenting with a lot of new flavors from local herbs, fruits and botanicals. On this still we will make all our future products. Maybe a pink gin, Christmas aquavit or a navy strength gin? What are you hoping for?

Our Geirr Angr Botanical Gin; an amazing gift or the perfect souvenir. This bottle pictures the beauty of the darkness that veils the Geirangerfjord half of the year. Winter nights with snowy mountains, starry skies that sometimes gets a visit by the northern lights.

Thank you to @peil.agency for creating this label for our gin and encapturing its identity.

We finally received a few of these amazing 200-liter bourbon casks from Willett in Kentucky 🤩 They were put to use immediately and will produce Norwegian aquavit, eventually… stay tuned 🥃

Juniper berries are the gem of the distillery world, bringing a burst of crisp, piney flavor to your favorite spirits. 🌿

These little berries are the heart and soul of gin, lending their distinctive, fresh taste to every sip. But their magic doesn’t stop there—juniper berries are also used to craft unique liqueurs and infusions, adding depth and complexity to a variety of drinks. Whether you’re savoring a classic G&T or exploring new cocktail creations, juniper berries make each drink a refreshing experience.

GEIRR ANGR BOTANICAL GIN

Geirr Angr Botanical Gin is the first product we launched as part of our series of spirits promoting raw materials from the local area.

In this gin you find over 30 herbs & spices along with the juniper berries. The most dominant ones being mint, wildflowers, birch leaves, cardamom & citrus. A concentrated gin - perfect for cocktails!

Star anise isn’t just a spice for the kitchen—it’s a star in the distillery too. 🌟 This aromatic herb is prized for its unique, licorice-like flavor, which adds a complex depth to spirits. Whether it’s in a gin, liqueur, or even a craft cocktail, star anise infuses a warm, spicy note that elevates the drink to another level. Perfect for creating bold, unforgettable flavors, this little star is a big deal in the world of distilling. ✨

Geiranger Brenneri started as an idea back in 2018 when CEO/Founder Aleksander met the gründer and founder of “Det Norske Brenneri” (meaning The Norwegian Distillery), Odd Johan Nelvik, at a convention at Stranda Stout & Porter festival. After sampling a few of the goods, Aleksander brought up the idea to make a “Geiranger-gin” using locally harvested raw materials. This idea peaked Odd’s interest and the two kept in touch over the next few years, but as they both had busy lifes, the project was set on hold temporarily.

But during covid when everything shut down, the seed that was planted in 2018 started to grow into a flower. The idea of only a gin turned into a whole distillery, as part of the Grande Fjord Hotel’s plan to expand the hotel building. The problem was just that there was no venues available in Geiranger yet, so they made an agreement with Det Norske Brenneri that until this was in place, they would distill and bottle the products in Grimstad in the meanwhile.

The distillery finally found its place on the ground floor of this new establishment at the hotel, and in 2024, the distillery could finally start producing destilates in Geiranger.
