Aurora Spirit Distillery is a remarkable Norwegian whisky producer located above the Arctic Circle in the Lyngen Alps region of Northern Norway, near Lyngseidet. Founded by Tor Christensen and fellow entrepreneurs, the distillery was established in 2014 as a company, with operations beginning in 2016. Uniquely situated in a former NATO base, Aurora Spirit lays claim to being the northernmost distillery in the world, attracting international attention for both its extraordinary location and the quality of its spirits. The dramatic landscape — the Lyngen Alps, surrounding fjords, and the dancing northern lights — forms the backdrop for this pioneering Arctic distillery. Aurora Spirit produces a range of spirits under the Bivrost label, with its single malt whisky being the centerpiece of the portfolio. The distillery's flagship expression, Bivrost Heimdallr, has become a highly sought-after release among whisky enthusiasts worldwide. The distillery benefits from the expertise of Head Distiller Alejandro Aispuro, who brings a unique international perspective to crafting whisky in one of the world's most extreme climates. The cold Arctic conditions play a distinctive role in the maturation and character of their spirits. Aurora Spirit has earned significant recognition within the industry, winning the Best Consumer Experience award at The Spirits Business Awards 2019. The distillery draws visitors from around the globe, combining world-class whisky production with one of the most spectacular natural settings imaginable.
