When someone mentions Fjæra, we think of much more than just the transition between sea and land. The word makes the mind fly to summer and sun. Rippling waves and the screams of seagulls. Relaxing and lazy days with friends and family. Morning baths and long, bright evenings.
Fjæra Rosé Gin is the interpretation of the ideal gin to drink by the water. Fresh, dry and fruity. A pink gin without artificial color, taste or added sugar. The distillate starts with a touch of flowers and fresh tones. Some of the plants are placed in the pot itself, while the flowers are placed in a steam basket.
Both parts are massaged overnight before distillation. Fjæra is also distilled with Norwegian potato spirit. Then we store gin for 2-3 months in red wine casks from Bordeaux. This short barrel storage gives Fjæra both color and aroma of berries and spices, while at the same time avoiding a clear oak character. After storage in a barrel, gin can be soaked a little with raspberries to give it a little extra fruitiness.
Fjæra Rosé Gin can easily be described as the gin's answer to a rosé wine and is perfect for the same occasions. Serve with raspberries.
Tastings:
Smell: Nice concentrated aroma of juniper, raspberry, flowers and red wine.
Taste: Gin with good body and structure. Complexity from junipers and spices. Fruity flavors of berries, raspberries are most prominent. Fresh, sour and long aftertaste.
