Norwegian experiments: Goal is to challenge the question of identity over imitation.
This ongoing field trial asks whether Norwegian soul can be transferred to known spirits. Norwegian malt, juniper smoke, and birch make a Norwegian whisky? Muckpit, dunder, and beet root molasses make a Norwegian Rum? Green Norwegian juniper berries- will they make a good gin, etc etc
