Kimerud is a Norwegian gin distillery that produces craft spirits in Norway. The distillery focuses on creating distinctive gins that reflect Nordic characteristics and local botanicals, contributing to Norway's emerging craft spirits scene.
Norwegian gin production has grown significantly in recent years, with distilleries often incorporating local ingredients such as juniper harvested from Norwegian forests, along with other regional botanicals that thrive in the country's unique climate. The clean water sources and pristine environment of Norway provide an excellent foundation for spirit production, while the long tradition of aquavit distillation in the country has established technical expertise in working with botanicals.
Kimerud produces navy strength gin, which typically contains a higher alcohol content than standard gin, usually bottled at 57% ABV or above. This higher proof style allows the botanical flavors to remain pronounced even when mixed with other ingredients, and reflects a more intense expression of the distiller's botanical recipe.
