Historie

Norseman Distillery is located in the Strong Scott Building in Minneapolis. The building has a long and industrial history, as described on the page with the building's history: building things from scratch since 1908, and Strong Scott Manufacturing took over the site before it in 1967 became home to other purposes and later Norseman Distillery. This reflects a focus on preserving craft and creating unique beverages in a space with history that now serves as a cocktail room and distillery. The page also mentions a culture around collaboration and events in laboratory-like surroundings, and that bar culture and experiences are central through Norseman.

Produktion / Fremstilling

Norseman fremviser en række spiritusser og tilhørende produkteknikker, hvor small-batch tilgang og håndværk fremhæves i beskrivelserne af de enkelte produkter: - Aquavit: A gin-like spirit, where botanicals such as chervil, dill and fennel dominate; aged six months in oak barrels and takes on a dark amber hue with notes of rye bread and malt. - Barrel-Aged Rum: Made from 100% organic panela sugar and matured in bourbon barrels, which yields honey, vanilla and a warm wood-note depth. - Danske Aquavit: Requires notes of dill, coriander and a range of Nordic botanicals; served cold and noted as a suitable substitute for vodka/gin in cocktails. - Sylvan Gin: Vacuum-distilled in small batches (1 liter) with a very citrus-forward profile. - Pineapple Chipotle Gin: Steeping pineapple and chipotle yields a clear tropical fruit profile with a hint of smoke. - Acadia Liqueur, Amaro, Anisette, Apricot Liqueur and Biscayne Liqueur: The descriptions highlight complex, herbal, sweet and spicy characters as inspiration for cocktails. - Rom-varianter: Pineapple Rum and Navy/Industrial Rum offer possibilities for tiki cocktails and rum-based drinks, with notes of coconut, caramel and spices. - Gin, Aquavit og Bitter-linjer: Green Label Gin, Norseman Strength Gin (116 proof) and various bitters (Aromatic, Cacao, Morita, etc.) provide a broad selection for mixed drinks and bartenders. - Harvest Whiskey, Rye Whiskey and Peated Whiskey: Particularly Harvest Whiskey is described as a simple and nuanced whiskey with warm spices and oak tones (available in the cocktail room, not for direct sale at the moment). Peated Whiskey and Rye Whiskey are mentioned as products in the lineup. - Økologiske elementer og samarbejder: Udvalgte produkter som Barrel-Aged Rum er beskrevet som 100% økologiske (panela), og der nævnes også co-lab projekter som et tegn på samarbejde, fx (Wrecktangle x Norseman bitters) og andre limited collaborations.
