Kirkjuvagr - Harpa
£28.95
Harpa, like Kirkjuvagr Original and Arkh-Angell Storm Strength, is a traditional distilled gin, but is a bit lighter and slightly sweeter. Harpa, in Old Norse, means 'welcome the light' and is a nod to the glorious Orkney spring and summer where they have almost perpetual sunlight. To achieve the lighter sweeter flavour, they increased the juniper, citrus and aronia berry count - it is much more notably 'juniper-led' than its counterparts.
