Aurora Spirit opened in 2016 under the name “Bikvost”, which means Shaking Path, a reference to the route heroic dead Vikings took to Valhalla and the afterlife (the bridge to the next world leads through the curtain of the Northern Lights). It produces award-winning whisky, gin (ideally served with four raspberries and six blueberries), three aquavits and “Jolablot” (meaning, sacrifice), an Arctic herbal liqueur.
The state-of-the-art distillery at Aroybukt at the foot of north Norway’s Lyngen Alps is the creation of a doctor, a hairdresser, a scuba diver, a German still called Gerd and two Scotsmen. Born in Oban and now based in Inverness, Colin Houston is co-founder and cask manager as well as MD of Aurora Spirit UK.
