Absint
Bareksten Absinth is spirit derived from botanicals with the main characteristics of the flowers and
leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), and some medicinal and culinary herbs.
In history absinth had a negative association but it is just misunderstood. A revival of absinthe began
after the European Union removed long-standing barriers to its production and sale.

Old Tom Gin
Old Tom Gin recipe existence since 18th-century. With the resurgence of the "Craft Cocktail" movement
this Gin became popular again. Bareksten Old Tom Gin is slightly sweeter than the Botanical Gin.
Old Tom Gin has more subtle nuances and does not overwhelm with the juniper influence. Traditionally
cocktails as the Martinez or Tom Collins are built with Old Tom Gin.
The name Old Tom Gin purportedly came from wooden plaques shaped like a black cat (an "Old Tom")
mounted on the outside wall of some pubs above a public walkway in 18th -century England. Under the
cat's paw sign was a slot to put money in and a lead tube. From the tube would come a shot of gin,
poured by the bartender inside the pub. The sign may be the first example of a beverage vending
machine.
Colour
Clear
Nose

In the mighty Norwegian forests where sunlight rarely penetrates. In lonely land-
scapes inhabited only by the ‘Hulder’ wood nymphs, who live below ground sur-
rounded by the roots of old oaks. This is where Bareksten takes its inspiration from.
Nordic, natural and organic ingredients form the basis for its un ique flavours.

Navy Strength Gin
Navy Strength Gin is gin that is bottled at 57-58%ABV.The origin of Navy strength gin evolved from the
idea of "proof spirits", a term which originated in the 18th Century. At this time, British sailors were
given rations of rum; to ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was "proved" by dousing
gunpowder in it, then tested to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained
too much water and was considered to be "under proof".
Bareksten Navy Strength Gin is a tasteful, spicy and full -bodied gin, one with a long and smooth finish
with fruit and spices will linger to the end
Bareksten Navy Strength Gins is fantastic for cocktails as it maintains the typical botanical gin character
even in small quantities. Bareksten Navy Strength is also perfect in Gin & Tonic because the beautiful
taste won’t get watered down.
Colour
Clear
Nose

powerful spice notes.
