Oslo Håndverksdestilleri
Gin from the Oslo Håndverksdestilleri chaps, following on from their excellent Marka Nordic Bitter. The gin is styled on traditional British dry gin but is made with foraged local botanicals from the Norwegian mountains including heather, yarrow, chamomile, bilberry, angelica root and meadowsweet. The clue is in the name you see, with Vidda meaning 'mountain plateau' and Tørr meaning 'dry'.
Impressive citric pine forest, earthy turmeric, thyme, meadowsweet, pink peppercorns, violet, carnation, fresh mint and a core of juniper throughout.
Sweet juniper is central, good mouthfeel, more fresh and spicy mountain flora in support.
Quite clean with hints of sweet fennel, flowers and all.

As below it won’t be to everyone’s taste... but I loved it if you read the bottle it states it’s Norwegian and all it’s properties make me feel I’m drinking a pine, iceberg infused gin with herbs spices and berries very very nice !
As other reviewers have said, the pine flavour is extremely over powering. Gin doesn't usually last long in my house, but this has been untouched since it entered the house via a monthly gin subscription club. Can't think of any positives... yuck!
Love it.
It's one of the best gins I've ever tasted
Terrible.
